Prisoners
in Nigeria will not be denied their suffrage in 2019 as it has been in
the past following efforts by INEC to carry them along.

The Independent National Electoral Commission says it is making
arrangements with the Nigeria Prisons Service to ensure that prisoners
are allowed to vote in the 2019 general elections.
The Chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, said this in Abuja on
Tuesday at a dialogue session with the Nigeria Civil Society Situation
Room Dialogue – a coalition of over 70 civil society organisations in
Nigeria.
The development comes three years after a Federal High Court in
Benin, Edo State, ruled that prisoners in Nigeria have the right to vote
in all elections conducted in the country.
The INEC boss said the commission was looking at the possibility of
creating polling units in Nigerian prisons to allow some categories of
inmates to vote.
He, however, said certain categories of prisoners would not be
allowed to vote depending on the nature of the crimes they committed.
Yakubu said, “We have already engaged the Comptroller-General
of Prisons and we have statistics on the number of prisoners nationwide
and the number of inmates that are registered. We are looking at the
possibility of creating polling units in the prisons and to enable some
categories of prisoners to vote.
“Ghana does it but there are some categories of prisoners who
by the nature of crimes committed lose the right to vote. Whatever we
can do to open up the process to ensure that as much as possible
Nigerians are given the opportunity to vote, will be done.”
Also speaking on the forthcoming Anambra governorship election, the
INEC boss said the commission would do everything to ensure that the
election is not inconclusive.
Yakubu raised the alarm over the wrongful substitution of names of
governorship candidates by two political parties ahead of the
governorship election.
He regretted that the high level of non-compliance to the Electoral
Act by the political parties was threatening the electoral system.
Although the INEC boss declined to name the parties involved in the
wrongful substitution of candidates’ names, he warned that if the act
was eventually challenged in court, the whole election could be voided
on that account and the nation made to bear the financial brunt of
conducting a fresh election.
The Executive Director, Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre, and
Convener of Situation Room, Clement Nwankwo, said the event was
organised to find out the commission’s preparations for the forthcoming
Anambra State governorship poll as well as other elections update.
