Independent Electoral Commission, INEC, Tuesday, told stakeholders to show more commitment and interest in matters as crucial as voter registration, which forms the basis of a democratic franchise.
The Delta State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Rev Monday Udoh Tom, who stated this in Asaba during a press conference, said; “the ongoing voter registration will benefit the state, it is not a partisan affair. It should therefore be seen in the light of what is good for Delta State, irrespective of party affiliation.
“It is important to inform Deltans that, the current figure of 442,672 online registration and 188, 919 completed registration, as of February 21, 2022, in our view does not represent the full potentials of the number of eligible citizens that should be on the national voters roll.
“We are aware that, many reasons, including terrain, distance from the current registration centres, among others, may have accounted for the current level of registration, which by any standard is considered abysmal.
