The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in Lagos State has dismissed the allegation of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, of figure manipulation in the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration, CVR, in the state, describing it as unfounded and inaccurate.
DAILY POST reports that ADC recently alleged possible manipulations of the online pre-registration exercise for the CVR in Lagos State, among other states.
Responding on Monday in Lagos, Head, Voter Education and Publicity, INEC, Lagos State, Mr Taiwo Gbadegesin, stated that the speculation remained a figment of the party’s imagination.
“The Lagos registration figures are consistent with past CVR trends and reflect the state’s demographic realities: a large. youthful and tech-savvy population.
“In the last CVR (2021-2022), Lagos recorded the highest number of registrations nationwide.
“The State’s total registered voters rose from 6,570,291 before the exercise to 7,060,195 afterwards. The current figures, therefore, align with this established pattern,” he said.
Gbadegesin stated that the numbers also reflect the commission’s effective deployment, as well as the state office’s numerous and sustained public awareness efforts.
He said that INEC had been promoting transparency in carrying out its constitutional mandate.
