LATEST UPDATE On Gistagain: Fashola Queries INEC’s 4.8 Million Record Of Voters For Lagos
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) may have some explaining to do, as the Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, is asking how INEC arrived at the current number of registered voters whose Permanent Voter Cards are ready for collection in Lagos.
The Governor said that he does not understand why Lagos, with a voting population of over six million in 2011, would now have only four million, three years later.
The Governor also said that INEC owes the state an explanation, why 1,447,845 registered voters disappeared from among 6,247,845 voters announced by INEC before the 2011 elections, which leaves Lagos with 4.8million registered voters.
Governor Fashola further asked INEC if there was a plan to disenfranchise Lagosians from exercising their rights to chose their own representatives.
He warned that his government would stand by the side of all eligible and previously registered voters, to have their names back on the voters’ register from 2011 “unless INEC can show legitimate reason why this is not so”.
He also declared November 7 a work free day for public workers to enable them perform their civic responsibilities of collecting their PVCs.
