Verdict: False

CLAIM: A Facebook video was posted by one Umuchiukwu Writers with the caption “Igbos living in Lagos denied PVC registration by Federal Government. Only Biafra will save Biafrans.”

In the video, a voice was heard saying in Igbo that “We have not been allowed to register for PVC in Lagos and we have been here since 7am. INEC officials are only attending to those who speak in Yoruba and some Yoruba chiefs were present and allowing only Yorubas to register.”

Verification: It was obvious there was no queue nor did the video show any INEC official or Yoruba chiefs.

Daily Trust reached out to Umuchiukwu Writers to verify the authenticity of the video.

He said it was recorded “at Igbede and Ojo areas in the Ojo Local Government Areas of Lagos State on June 9, 2022.”

He however admitted that he was not present at the location.

“I received information from our Igbo brothers there,” he noted.

Meanwhile, in an interview with our correspondent, INEC National Electoral Commissioner for Information and Voter Education, Festus Okoye, denied that Igbo people were prevented from collecting PVCs.

He said, “The Commission and its officials will not engage in or tolerate any case of voter suppression. The commission has not received any official complaint of voter suppression other than the trending videos. Every Nigerian of registrable age living in any part of Nigeria is entitled to register.

“It’s a sovereign constitutional right. The CVR process has been on for 11 months. The present surge is a peculiar Nigerian 11th-hour syndrome. We have deployed additional IVED, fingerprint scanners, and Thermal Printers to states of acute pressure.

“We are monitoring the CVR process and will explore all options and do whatever is necessary to assist Nigerians register.”

Conclusion: Daily Trust can confirm that the video posted does not have enough evidence to the claim that INEC officials and some Yoruba chiefs prevented Igbos from registering for PVCs

Those people are known to always cry wolf

Nothing to check here. There are overwhelming evidence to back it up. INEC already knows that Peter Obi will win with a landslide but they are hell bent on rigging the election for the Iragbiji man

See Mad people, they keep causing problem everywhere.

As a proud Yoruba man and former Tinubu minion who has seen the light, I am 100 percent OBIdient and I urge the rest of the country to do likewise.

One can't cry wolf without reason

The reason which has been disputed. Or you didn't read the article at all?

The tinubu of iragbiji will lose in Lagos. Obi will win Lagos. Go and mark it.

Nothing can stop Asiwaji Peter Obi. The Real Jagaban of Nigeria. He will effortlessly be President. We are heading to the polls. Songs of victory and hope shall be heard all over Africa when Asiwaju Peter Obi is declared president.

Yes

I've registered online but they've kept postponing my appointment for Biometrics capturing


Is it not means of frustration and disenfranchisement ?

Lol, it's just a Nigerian thing . No one is disenfranchising the easterners in Lagos. Infact we have almost equal population of Northerners in that local government as easterners. So why are we not having the same complaints from the Northerners ?

Fact check or false check ni?

Chestbeat!

Sell drug!!

Lie for a living!!!

You will believe it so far it is against the Igbos

This news is typical Nigeria news medias' half baked propaganda to counter an already exposed gaffe and a poor attempt to cover an atrocious evil committed by the state

We all know the truth but the APC and Tinubu urchins in a race to cover their ass are cooking up a poorly reported news to gaslight Igbos

There have been several reported news about this and the current request of LASRRA by Lagos INEC before electorates are registered for PVC but thank God for internet

Whether Tinubu likes it or not, Peter obi is getting at least 43% votes in his lagos

Yes

Lol why always dem

They peddle lies here and there. Children of hate. Enemies of righteousness. Always playing victim mentality.
