The hopes of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Niger State to participate in this year’s elections has been dashed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as its Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in the state, Prof. Sam Egwu, has said there is no voting for the IDPs.

Prof. Egwu, while addressing newsmen Wednesday on the preparations so far made by the commission for the conduct of the polls, said: “There will be no voting for IDPs in Niger, there is no official IDP camp in Niger known to Niger INEC. We do not have preparation for IDPs voting.”

Contrary to the claim by the REC, there were thousands of IDPs in Zungeru, Wushishi Local Government and in Gulu in the Lapai Local Government.

The IDPs were displaced from their ancestral homes by the 2018 flood, while some of those in Gulu relocated to the town following insurgency in Benue State.

Prof. Egwu said initially, INEC penciled eight states where there were IDPs but that the number had increased to 16 states. He did not name the states.

He disclosed that out of the approximately 455 people contesting the March 2019 election in the state, only 50 are women.
Giving the breakdown, Egwu said there are two female candidates in the governorship race out of 31 contenders, seven others are deputy governorship candidates, while four women out of 37 are contesting for the senatorial seats.
Out of the 126 candidates vieing for the House of Representatives seats, nine of them are women just as only 28 women are in the race for the 27 House of Assembly seats out of a total of 361 candidates, Egwu declared.
He said of the 2,390,000 eligible voters in the state, 2,167,788 collected their PVCs, adding that: “We expect all these people to vote in all the elections.”
The REC said to ensure all eligible voters cast their ballots during elections, there was need for the country to legalise early voting.
“There is need for early voting so that some category of people will be able to vote two or three days before election but first we need to trust the electoral body,” he said.
Egwu also said that priority would be given to the physically challenged people and pregnant women on election day even as the commission has domesticated the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed with the National Union of Road Transport Employers Association and the National Union of Road Transport Workers for the transportation of election materials.

16 out of 36 states have IDP camps....and the number keeps growing.......something tells me Katsina and Adamawa will be among...

Nonetheless, I do think that they are been disenfranchised.....

Do they have voters cards?These people that have abandoned their properties to flood and bokoharam to destroy.Any double registration is fraud and an indication that the card readers have been compromised by both inec and the desperate northern politicians.

okay but government should do more on the issue of IDPs at least..

But those ones under heavier bombardments from Boko Haram in Maiduguri voted in 2015 and they gave 100% to a candidate....this one is flooding nah,and I believe INEC should have a database as well......

Hmmmm. Not a good thing. Btw, PDP were crying foul days ago that APC plan to use IDP to rig election and they even claimed it is unconstitutional. I am waiting to see them side the idps now and used it to attack govt. Is it a must we fight during voting season? Can't we just vote our choice of candidates without throwing tantarum? I have not seen buhari attacking Atiku or the other way around

Hmmm

During voting there will be a biometric registration where a genuine registered voter will present his voters card for verification before election.Without the voters card such candidate is disqualified.Even double registration is detected and the candidate disqualified.What I am saying is that these idps properties have already been washed away and destroyed by flood and bokoharam.Where do they get voters cards that is my quension"?
