Guber election: CSOs faults INEC over alleged delay in conduct of CVR in Bayelsa

Civil Society Organisations, CSOs, in Bayelsa State, have expressed concern over the alleged reluctance of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to conduct Continuous Voters Registration, CVR, in Bayelsa State, ahead of the November 11th governorship elections in the state. The CSOs led by the Fostering Achievement of Community Empowerment, FACE, Initiative allege that despite the shortage of time and in accordance with Section 9(6) of the 2022 Electoral Act, the non-compliance of the electoral body to continue to register new voters until August is a violation of the section of the law. They reminded INEC that the law stipulates that, “The registration of voters, updating and revision of the Register of Voters under this section SHALL not stop not later than 90 days before any election covered by this Act”. The Executive Director of FACE Initiative, Inatimi Odio, in a statement made available to DAILY POST in Yenagoa, noted that many Bayelsa youths have attained 18 years of age since the suspension of the CVR exercise in July 2022. He explained that there are also others who could not complete their registration or register at all before the suspension of the last exercise. He said, “We call on INEC to immediately set machinery in motion to conduct the CVR process in Bayelsa State. If this is not done scores of young people will be disenfranchised”, he said. He also revealed that the FACE Initiative, in partnership with other organizations in Bayelsa State, are ready to assist in mobilizing Bayelsa youths to go out and register as they constitute the majority of registered voters in Nigeria, pointing out that they also constitute the highest number of citizens that are yet to register. The group further reiterated their call for the Electoral Umpire, INEC to unveil a robust strategy and blueprint to enable Bayelsa youths who are not registered, do so and have their voices heard during the November 11 off-cycle governorship elections.

For uncovering, deleting over 2.7 million fake registrations and identifying 23 personnel who carried out the fake voter registrations, the Coalition of United Political Parties, (CUPP), has commended the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC). The Opposition Coalition CUPP bursted and exposed the irregularities few weeks ago. Following the exposure the electoral umpire had moved against 23 of its staff who were identified to be behind the fake Registrations and compromise of voters registration exercise popularly called Omuma Magic Mahmood Yakubu, INEC chairman, on Wednesday at the third quarterly meeting with political parties said after a rigorous clean-up of the data using the automated biometric identification system (ABIS), 2,780,756 (22.6%) of the registrants were identified as ineligible and invalidated. Read also>>>CBN Unveils Plans to Replace Naira Notes Spokesperson of CUPO Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere in a statement said INEC confirmation has vindicated the opposition parties who uncovered the Imo APC sponsored plot last month. The Coalition also said that with the confirmation by INEC, Governor Hope Uzodinma has been disgraced and his 'Omuma' magic deleted. The opposition political parties and CSOs said with this vindication, a national honour should be conferred on CUPP spokesman, Ugochinyere for this laudable exposure. The opposition parties therefore called on the inspector general of police to do the needful by arresting those behind the evil act. They also called on him to ensure the release of INEC Staff, Chidiebere currently in detention in Imo state. The CUPP statement said, "At a meeting today, INEC confirmed our intelligent discovery. Quoting the INEC Chairman the said, After a rigorous cleaning-up of the data using the Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS), a total of 2,780,756 (22.6%) were identified as ineligible registrants and invalidated from the record. "Among them double/multiple registrants, underaged persons and outrightly fake registrations. The Commission deployed thousands of diligent staff for the CVR exercise and the vast majority of them discharged their duties conscientiously. Unfortunately, a few of them did not. "The fictitious registrations were carried out by some of our Registration Officers involved in the field exercise and could easily be traced. Each registration machine is operated using an access code tied to a dedicated e-mail assigned to a staff. "There is therefore an audit trail that gives the total number of persons registered by each official involved in the registration exercise. "In some cases, some of them made as many as 40 attempts or more to register one fake voter. As a result, the Commission has so far identified 23 Registration Officers involved in this unethical conduct and disciplinary action has commenced. Continuing the CUPP statement reads, "As INEC has done the needful by deleting these fake registrations. We urge the IG of police to arrest the culprits. Yet again Hope Uzodinma APC led government has been disgraced and their plot to rig the election thwarted. "We at the opposition will not rest, we will continue to do the needful, and ensure that Nigerians get the free and fair election they deserve."

True to their threat, a group of Nigerians under the aegis of Peter Obi Support Network (POSN) has sued the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over its failure to comply with the constitutional provision that requires the commission to continue voter registration until at least 90 days to the general elections. In Suit No FHC/ABJ/CS/1342/2022 filed on their behalf by Abuja law firm, Ikechukwu Ezechukwu, SAN & Co., the Plaintiffs argue that INEC’s abrupt termination of the voter registration exercise would disenfranchise millions of eligible voters during the 2023 presidential election. The suit filed at the Federal High Court Abuja on Friday, August 5, 2022, seeks, among other things, an order compelling INEC to reverse its earlier directive halting the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise across the country on July 31, 2022, and to declare as ultra vires, the commission’s decision to put a timeline on the CVR exercise outside the timeline provided by the 2022 Electoral Act, as amended. The Plaintiffs raised the following issues for Determination: “Whether having regards to the combined provisions of Sections 76(2), 77(2), 116(2), 117(2), 132(2) & (5) and 178 (2) & (5) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as Amended) as well as Sections 9(1), 9 (6), 10(1) and 12(1) of the Electoral Acts, 2022, the Defendant can or has the right or latitude to stop the continuous voter’s registration on 31st July, 2022, about over Seven and Half (71/2) months (208 days), or any other day not until ninety (90) days before the General Elections when there are millions of prospective voters including the Plaintiffs who have not Registered and are willing to do so.” The Plaintiffs prayed the court for the following reliefs: “A DECLARATION that the Defendant is expected pursuant to the provisions of Sections 76(2), 77(2), 116(2), 117(2), 132(2) & (5) and 178 (2) & (5) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as Amended) as well as Sections 9(1), 9 (6), 10(1) and 12(1) of the Electoral Acts, 2022, to continue voters Registration, update and Revision of voters register till 90 days before the General Election billed to take place on 25th February, 2023 and 11th march, 2o23. “A DECLARATION that it is the Constitutional responsibility of the Defendant to make sure that every prospective Nigeria voter who have shown desire to Register to vote are not derived their Civil right to Register and participate in the forthcoming General Elections Scheduled to take place on 25th February,2023 and 11th March 2023. “AN ORDER OF COURT directing the Defendant to Resume immediately the Registration of new voters, updating and Revision of the Register of voters until at least 90 days to the General Election slated to hold on 25th February 2023 and 11th March, 2023.” According to the lead Counsel, Ifeanyi Nrialike Esq, over three hundred members of the Peter Obi Support Network (POSN) across the 36 states and Abuja, contacted the POSN legal team expressing frustration over their inability to register because of the stoppage of the Voters Registration exercise by INEC. One of the Plaintiffs, Mr. Ernest N. Stanley, narrated how on several occasions he attended at the registration Center located at Lugbe for registration as a Voter to no avail. In his affidavit sighted by our correspondent, Mr Stanley stated, “That in all instances I have been to the Registration centers to get registered, I will meet a mammoth crowd of prospective voters who also came for the same purpose of which we queue under the sun for hours without being attended to. “That at the registration center that I have gone to get registered there are not enough personnel such as the Registration Officer to attend to the crowd that came to be Registered. “That on Several instances the registration would not go on with excuses that the system malfunctioned, and machine broke down being offered as the excuse and for the whole day there will be no registration exercise that will take place.

“That before you know what is happening, and to my chagrin, the Defendant through its National Chairman announced that the continuous voters Registration Exercise will stop on 31st July 2022.”
