Supporters of Labour Party presidential candidate HE. Peter Obi has called the independent National Electoral Commission to extend the ongoing CVR exercise until at least, November 2022 as the registration ends on Sunday 31 July 2022
The Group said they might be have to seek redress in court since all entreaties to INEC to continue the CVR have fallen on deaf ears.
Director of the group Mrs. Modupe Olufemi-Akodu, a statement in Abuja based on their request for extension.
She said, “We have made several appeals to INEC to stick to the Electoral Law which stipulates that voter registration should stop 90 days before the general elections. But all our entreaties seem to have fallen on deaf ears as INEC is going ahead with its plans to suspend the exercise on July 31.
“This is suspected to be a trick to disenfranchise millions of young potential voters who have not been able to register or transfer their cards within this period.”
She said the action amounts to disenfranchisement and suppression of potential voters. She urged INEC to extend the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration exercise until at least, November 2022.
