The House of Representatives has asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to delete from the voters’ data of voters that fail to vote in two election cycles.

The House made the call on Thursday following the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance moved by Leke Abejide (ADC, Kogi).

The lawmakers resolved that whoever did not vote in the two election cycles held on 25 February and 18 March back to back be deleted from INEC as non-existing human beings.

They resolved that INEC should develop a mechanism or software application where families who lost their loved ones can report the demise of a particular PVC number so that it can be duly deleted from INEC , Polling unit, and Ward.

Moving the motion, Mr Abejide said several dead and fictitious persons were discovered in the voters’ .

“In the last general election, it was glaring and crystal clear that people that were long dead had their names still displayed in the voters’ . Even my own deceased Father who ed on long ago still has his name displayed on the board.

“Apart from dead voters there are millions of fictitious voters who do not exist anywhere on this planet earth but have their names on the INEC voters ,” he said.

Speaking against the motion, Nicholas Ossai (PDP, Delta), said the proposal is against the principle of the 1999 constitution. He said the right to vote is a fundamental right that is not subject to voting.

“When you are ed, it is a fundamental right. Those of them that have availed themselves to be ed the Constitution gives them that right whether they go to the polls to vote or not. Using that as a criterion to delist such persons is not in line with the constitution of the Federal Republic,” Mr Ossai said.

He added that the mover of the motion failed to provide facts to back the claims he is making. “Our are speculating without facts. This motion should have been accompanied by facts,” he said.

Mr Ossai declared that the motion is “unconstitutional,” adding “It will fringe the rights of Nigerians”.

Sada Soli (APC, Katsina) said the motion is only asking INEC to clean its ahead of the off-season elections in Kogi, Bayelsa and Imo States.

Following the debate, the motion was taken with an amendment that INEC should embark on verification of the data in the .

When the motion was put to vote by the Deputy Speaker, Idris Wase, voted in of it.

You kids like rambling.
In as much as the call is unnecessary, it's equally unacceptable at this time & age for the country to be recording this abysmally low voters turnout.

Even with your candidate claim of voters suppression and intimidation in other places, his own home front that he got 98% votes was equally low in turnout.

Wise move.But they should be given option to send an sms for reactivation ,and not to through the rigours of ques again.This will clean up the .

Doesn't make sense! I wasn't in Nigeria during the last election, does that mean I should be disenfranchised? Just send activation codes or connect government database in a way that all deaths are recorded and all dead people are subsequently delisted automatically! Only death should lead to disenfranchisement

Does not make sense

But anyway it does not change the fact that Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a guinea conackry cocaine sniffer

Mtcheew!! Rubbish people.

There should be some forms of benefits those who refused to vote are denied

Is it INEC that doesn’t have a proper data base that they want to give this task?

Quote me in 4years time, they’ll be 800 ed voters and 100 accredited voters.

They should just use this energy and ask INEC to make next election to be online, anything outside this means Nigeria is a mess.

It's very obvious that you didn't read the text that's why you didn't understand. The main people they plan to eliminate are people who are dead and some ghost voters who were criminally and unjustly ed.

If you have dead people on the , you are automatically leaving room for rigging. Politicians might take advantage of it.

Some of Us stop to dey vote more than 12yrs ago cos we realize say no be voting go solve Naija problem.

Cos irrespective of who you vote for, Na African mentality him go still carry go there.
That Selfish mindset of Me, Myself and I.

Instead to use the opportunity to serve, na lie na how to accumulate wealth dem dey pursue.

Unfortunately also, most Nigerians no get sense when he reach to Vote.

So, make una delete am joor.

Some people are incapable of thinking properly but, unfortunately, you find them in political office. They want to delist voters who are disenfranchised by an unjust electoral system. How easy and safe have they made the voting process? Heartless souls!

What about those disenfranchised by touts in two election cycle? How will their status be detected or differentiated?
