Where Truth Meets Purpose
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has revealed that 69,376 Nigerians pre-registered in seven hours as Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) commenced on Monday.
As of 12:35 p.m. today, the number of hits on the CVR platform, www.cvr.inecnigeria.org, had climbed to 26,255.
INEC stated that a new date for the rerun election in the affected polling units would be announced in due course.
“We have been trying to find out the basis for the omission. We don’t know whether it is a sponsored action by those who felt threatened or a technical glitch.
Dozens of protesters carrying banners and placards with inscriptions such as: “INEC, who is using you against LP, ”Mahmood stop destroying democracy in Nigeria

He urged key players to wake up to their responsibilities and do what is necessary for the advancement of Nigeria’s democracy.
“This exercise is for Nigerians who have attained voting age or those who were unable to register in previous exercises.
