The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is intensifying efforts to sanitise Nigeria’s national voters’ register ahead of the 2027 general elections following the discovery of suspected irregularities, including duplicate registrations, questionable identities and alleged misconduct by some registration officials.

The commission has reportedly received hundreds of thousands of claims and objections following the public display of the preliminary voters’ register, as part of efforts to identify and remove ineligible or questionable entries.

An INEC source disclosed that the ongoing exercise had helped uncover duplicate registrations and other discrepancies, while additional complaints were still being expected.

The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has challenged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to provide a detailed account of the ₦15.8 trillion reportedly saved from petrol subsidy removal and over $100 billion borrowed by his administration.

Obi called on the Federal Government to demonstrate how the funds, alongside increased revenue from taxation and other sources, have translated into tangible improvements in the lives of Nigerians.

The former Anambra State governor made the demand in an open statement posted on his X handle on Saturday, titled, “Good Day, Mr President: Nigerians Deserve Accountability.”

His comments followed Tinubu’s remarks during an All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign rally in Akwa Ibom State, where the President criticised Obi over his alleged failure to address erosion challenges in Anambra during his tenure as governor.

Obi urged the President to use his visits to different states to engage directly with citizens and explain how public resources have been managed.

He specifically demanded statistics showing the number of Nigerians lifted out of poverty, out-of-school children returned to classrooms and functional primary healthcare centres established since the Tinubu administration assumed office.

On electricity, the NDC presidential candidate questioned the extent of improvement in power supply, recalling Tinubu’s earlier promise that Nigerians should not vote for him if he failed to fix the country’s electricity challenges.

He also raised concerns over national security, asking the President to explain the measures taken to protect lives and property amid persistent insecurity and terrorism threats across the country.

According to Obi, increased government revenue and public borrowing should produce measurable improvements in critical sectors, rather than remain figures without visible impact on citizens.

He maintained that Nigerians deserved transparency and concrete evidence of how the resources entrusted to the government had been utilised.

Obi stressed that accountability, transparency and measurable results must remain central to governance, insisting that public funds should directly improve the welfare and living conditions of the people.
