In a sustained bid to clean up the voters’ register, the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has ordered the removal of 190
non-Nigerians from the Register of voters’.
It would be recalled that the Nigerian Immigration Service
(NIS) recently announced that it had retrieved several Permanent Voter Cards
and National Identity cards from foreigners who were alleged to have registered
as voters.
INEC has continually reiterated that it would not rest on
its oars at ensuring that the Voter Register was free from unqualified
registrations in order to ensure the register of voters’ met internationally
accepted standards.
The Commission further said it would continue to strengthen
its relationship with security agencies and other organizations in ensuring
that the electoral process is improved.
