Lagos registered voters from 6.2 million to 4.8 million: PDP, INEC have merged — Tinubu The former governor said INEC must explain in full detail why it reduced the number of registered voters in Lagos from 6.2 million to 4.8 million. He argued that INEC’s excuse that it reduced the figure because there were many cases of double registration in 2011 was not tenable. He therefore questioned the commission’s right to “disenfranchise 1.4 million Lagosians without recourse to a court of law.” He said, “You cannot automatically, without a court of law, disqualify them, you can only suspend them and give them another opportunity to register. To me, this exercise has failed, it is not acceptable, and we consider it as a rigging exercise. INEC has colluded with the presidency and the opposing party to rig the election from the data to the end.” He stated that the APC would embark on protests across the state if things were not corrected and urged INEC to publish the names of those who were removed from the voter register.
