INEC REMOVES 1.6 MILLION RECORDS FROM VOTERS' REGISTER, IDENTIFIES 54 STAFF IN 10 STATES AS COMPLICIT The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced the removal of 1,609,553 records from the national register of voters following a clean-up of the 2025/2026 Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise. It also revealed that 54 persons across ten states have been identified as complicit in the irregularities and face disciplinary action and possible prosecution. INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Amupitan, SAN, disclosed this at a press conference on the display and publication of the Preliminary Voters Register held at the Commission’s Headquarters on Monday 9th November, 2026. Prof. Amupitan said the figure comprises 1,608,660 confirmed invalid registrations and 873 records belonging to verified deceased persons, which were removed as a separate category. The Commission harvested 11,088,238 records from the three phases of the 2025/2026 CVR, and the Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS) initially flagged 1,545,052 of these for examination. He cautioned that flagging does not equal invalidity. "A flagged record is not necessarily an invalid registration: automated screening identifies matters requiring review, while authorised adjudication determines the outcome," he said. Before the Preliminary Register was published, 1,277,052 registrations had been confirmed invalid and excluded. A further 268,000 cases then went to adjudication following objections, claims and complaints received during the display. Of these, 217,722 were confirmed invalid and removed, while 50,278 were cleared as valid and retained. Additional screening identified 113,886 more invalid registrations, which were also removed, bringing the post-display removals to 331,608. "The Commission confirms that the current register-cleaning exercise for the 2025/2026 Continuous Voters Registration (CVR) has been concluded," Prof. Amupitan said. The chairman said the Commission considered the scale of the removals "significant enough to warrant an examination of how it occurred and those responsible for this." According to him, the technical assessment examined suspected multiple registrations, unusual registration patterns, substituted photographs and irregularities in registration transactions, and found that some registration personnel acted deliberately. "The Commission found instances in which certain registration personnel deliberately circumvented established registration procedures and misused provisions intended for exceptional registration circumstances including for persons with disabilities," he said. He added that the affected records had been identified and subjected to review and remediation, and that the personnel involved had been identified for further administrative investigation. "Fifty-four persons cutting across ten States have been identified as complicit and necessary disciplinary action will be taken against them including possible prosecution," he said. To prevent a recurrence, the Commission is strengthening its registration controls with "enhanced biometric capture, authentication and verification safeguards." The announcement follows complaints, claims and objections received during the display of the Preliminary Register at the ward level between 9 and 15 October 2026, and its subsequent online publication. Members of the public pointed to apparently artificial or manipulated photographs, duplicate registration attempts, unusual names and registration patterns, and deceased persons remaining on the register. Some alleged the irregularities were intentional and aimed at compromising the 2027 elections.

A NEW DIMENSION OF TOXIC POLITICS IN NIGERIA The new dimension of toxic politics that Nigeria has developed since 2025, I arrived at the airport at 7 a.m. this morning to board my flight to Enugu. There, I saw the Nigeria Under-17 girls' team, which had just arrived and was preparing to board its vehicle into town. With genuine joy and enthusiasm, I asked my Protocol Officer, Jackie Wayas, to find out whether I could greet and welcome the team. I was informed that officials of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) had refused and had requested that I not approach them because, if I did, they would all lose their jobs. Regrettably, this is not the first time I have been subjected to such treatment. On March 25, 2025, I was in Uyo for the World Cup qualifier. The governor warmly received me and welcomed me at the VIP stand. Following the match, other government officials went to greet the players, but I was again prevented from doing so. I was told by the officials that they would lose their jobs if I proceeded. It is deeply troubling to witness the extent of toxic politics into which our nation has descended since 2025. Each year appears to bring further deterioration. This reflects how deeply Nigeria has been affected. The new Nigeria we aspire to build must have no room for hostility, intimidation, or discrimination, regardless of political affiliation. It must be a Nigeria in which unity, mutual respect, and our shared humanity take precedence over political differences. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

From the qualifiers to the World Cup final, I’ve followed and covered this team from day one. Throwback to my conversation with Flamingos captain Harmony Chidi during the qualifiers. She spoke about her recovery from injury, saying, “God healed me. Glad to be back playing.” Today, she leads her teammates into the biggest game of their young careers as Nigeria face Japan in the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup final. What a journey! One more step, Harmony and the Flamingos. Bring it home. #U17WWC #AdemolaSports #2026FIFAU17WWC #2026U17WWC

NIGERIANS, WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🇳🇬 INEC has restricted the amount of time each person can spend on its website, so we need as many people as possible to help with this exercise. Here’s what we’re doing: We’re counting the number of registered voters in each polling unit for 2027 and comparing it with the number of registered voters in that same polling unit in 2023. INEC won’t show us the full register, so we have to do this ourselves, one polling unit at a time. Here’s how you can help. It takes just 60 seconds! STEP 1: Go to this link ⤵️ check.nigeriaelects.com STEP 2: Copy the code generated where it says “Your Polling Unit”. It’s the code containing numbers and dashes. STEP 3: Go to the INEC website and scroll down to “Find a Polling Unit”. Paste the code you copied into the PU Code box and click “Find”. STEP 4: The polling unit information will appear, including the number of registered voters. Copy ONLY the number of registered voters (the whole number, without the dashes). STEP 5: Return to the first website, paste the number into the space provided for registered voters and click Submit. That’s all! See the attached video for a visual guide. 60 seconds of your time can help us build a clearer picture of what’s happening with our voters’ register. Please participate and share this with other Nigerians. The more people who help, the more polling units we can cover. Let’s get to work! 🇳🇬

This is where APC is taking us . Nobody is more Nigerian than the other. The valiant will only taste death but once. The right thing must be done

“People have been talking about building the Ibom Deep Seaport. But no APC presidential candidate like Tinubu would abandon the Lekki and Badagry seaports to come and build the Ibom Deep Seaport. Don’t be deceived; it will never happen.” — Governor Umo Eno.
