There is a huge surge in Voter's registration in some states.

In Oshimili South Local Government, INEC staff stop registration by 1pm when there are hundreds of people yet to capture. It's the same issue at Aniocha Local Government, both from Delta State.

Currently, ebutte, Ikorodu LG of Lagos state is experiencing a massive of turnout while at Inec registration center at Amuwo Odofin FESTAC, the Inec registration officials started by 9 am to register people, only for thugs to disrupt the process.With the voters population at Amuwo Odofin local government area, there are not enough registration centre for PVC. I'm told that there no registration currently going on at Ojo Local Government, location for traders of Alaba International Market to register as no INEC staff on site( update, thugs are preventing the registration exercise)

At Egbema in ONELGA, Rivers State, there are no centers for voters registration here. Information on Uvwie, Warri, Delta state revealed that most people come as early as 5am and stay till 3pm(closing time of Inec office here) and we're not attended too.

It is the same issue at Area 10 of the FCT while registration of new voters have stopped at the Kuje Area Council.

The South East is experiencing a huge turnout with few staff in attendance. Okpara Square and INEC office, Enugu are experiencing surge as with Nnewi North, INEC office, Awka while Onitsha South LGA has just one system for over 500 people, all in Anambra State.

As at the time of writing, there are other states with this issue but for the fact that I do not have the exact location and local Government involved, I don't want to add these states (many of the affected states are of South West, East and South origin). Are you having issuing registering as a new voter at INEC registration centers? Write your state and the location.

It's quite clear. For the first time in very many decades, Igbos have decided to start registering to vote.

All the places mentioned are Igbo-dominated areas. Igbos intend to speak with their PVCs.

All the various permutations being entertained by pundits may have to be reconsidered, because it is clear Igbo votes will be very massive, all things being equal

There are areas amongst states that are not even dominated by Igbos, yet the surge is alarming. I think the entire Southern Christian dominated areas have woken up to match the votes of their Muslim Counterparts.

The Church, stating with Apostle Suleiman has begun to campaign for the only Christian Presidential candidate. Like I said earlier, churches are part of the reasons why we have this surge. The Catholic and Anglican Church may follow suit. The Church wants to promote it's sole candidate.This election will be interesting. Expect more surge of eligible voters in Christian dominated areas.

Electoral reforms made igbos have more confidence in the system. They can't close shop for election that their votes will not count. Secondly, Peter Obi's emergence as a presidential candidate when major parties seem to ignore igbos. This is the reason for the surge in voter registration noticed mainly in ignorant dominated areas

You have a point. Peter Obi is the only Christian candidate despite the outgoing president being Muslim. He will get Christian solidarity Nationwide

In the East and in Igbo dominated areas, yes however, it is different in areas where other ethnic groups dominate. For example, most christians are seeing this election from a religious viewpoint just like the Muslim counterparts. Some are saying that we already had a Muslim for 8years and they're still flagbearers of the two main parties. Some churches ( names withheld) are beginning to create a political arm within the church for the upcoming elections. So, the surge is as a result of different matters but one thing that's obvious is that it is emanating from the Southern Christian dominated States, not just in the East or in Igbo dominated areas of non igboid States.

Very true.

[/quot the Muslim vote which will be shared among the two Muslim candidates, sure Obi is getting this one.

I agree with you.
Even Yoruba Christians are bitter that Osinbajo couldn't win the APC ticket so they will rather align with Obi

I noticed too. So the surge is as a result of several factors. Some are registering to vote for other candidates. Whatever the reason, INEC need to sort it out. Who knows, maybe some states in the North are facing the same issues.

Nigerians

the Tsunami is coming and nothing can stop it...in 2015 the five states in south-east (Abia, Anambra, Imo, Ebonyi and Enugu) delivered 4,985,246 votes for PDP (dats approximately 5million registered voters already in their pocket), with the way things are going and the massive registration by next year 2023 election that number will double or might even triple in the South- East.

All I'm praying and hoping is for Atiku to make the mistake of not picking Okowa as his VP, we will join South-Easterners to vote OBI.

Igbos are every where and the last data showed over 5 million Igbos in Lagos, in 2020 Umahi stated that over 11.5 millions igbos lives in the North and they are all massively registering to vote.

they called them a dot in a circle, insignificant region with no voting power....we shall see about that!!

It appears that many Igbos don't have voters card before now due to lack of belief in Nigeria government.
But the emergence of Peter Obi, a politician they believe he is different from others appears to reset that mindset.
It's wise the Igbos participate in politics and eschew sentiments.
If we lose, we imbibe spirit of sportsmanship and restrategise in the future.
Politics no be land dispute.

In fact they need to do more if they truly have good plans for this country

Nigerians dey vex, imagine attacking Churches with Helicopter, what's all these
God bless Peter Obi for the hope he instill on the Youths

Anyone thinking that people are getting PVC to make APC remain in power is joking.

There has never been a massive voters registration of this kind.

Everyone wants to get rid of these thieves and embrace something new.

In conclusion, people are doing that to bring Peter Obi into power.

They ll try to frustrate southern voters just watch.......

Yes we need our PVC, but to get am na problem for ph here o. Inec abeg help us make am easy biko

Does votes really counts in Nigeria? Everyone of them would have start strategies of how to rig.

K

Tinubu is a bastard
