INEC Voter Register: Sam Amadi Says Tinubu Should Not Be Blamed

Sam Amadi, director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, says President Bola Tinubu should not be blamed for alleged irregularities in the voter register released by INEC. He argues that the commission, which oversees elections, must accept responsibility, apologise to Nigerians and set a timeline to verify and clean up the register. Amadi cites allegations that voter numbers in some polling units rose from about 400 to 1,500, as well as questions about the reported total of 103 million registered voters. He calls for a transparent independent audit, potentially involving professional bodies, to restore public confidence ahead of the next general election.
