8.1 Recommendations

The Committee makes the following recommendations:

i. The Commission should carry out manual check of the Voters’ Register in the 44 LGAs in Kano States in order to interrogate and remove any confirmed ineligible persons from the register.

ii. The Commission should also direct the remaining 35 States and FCT to carry out manual checks on the Voters’ Register and prepare reports for submission to the Headquarters.

iii. The Commission should leverage on its existing relationship with heads of ICCES at the highest level and request that they direct their 22 personnel in all States of the Federation to enhance their collaboration with INEC to monitor the on-going CVR exercise nationwide in order to guard against the possibility of ineligible registration.

iv. Stakeholders, being essential partners in the democratic process, should take active interest and participate in the on-going CVR exercise in order to further forestall the possibility of registration of ineligible persons nationwide.

v. The Commission should continue to take prompt disciplinary measures against staff who commit registration offences.

vi. INEC to collaborate with the Forum of State Independent Electoral Commissions (FORSIECON) to strengthen adherence by SIECs to
best practice in democratic elections through the review of their enabling laws to empower them to conduct elections that meet
minimum standards such as compulsory accreditation, secret balloting, collation, transmission and declaration of result as well as proper documentation of processes, procedures and outcomes.

vii. There should be uniformity and guaranteed of tenure of elected Local Government Councils nationwide as well as periodic elections as is the case in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

9.0 CONCLUSION
The Committee, after diligent checks and physical examination of
correspondence and samples of printed Voters’ Register used by KANSIEC
for the 10th February 2018 Local Government Elections in Kano, was able to
establish that there was a request for the Voters’ Register which INEC
granted. However, it was generally not used for accreditation on election
day.

The Committee’s analysis of the pictures and video clips of under-aged voters on social media, as well as review of interactions with several stakeholders that participated in the elections, shows clearly that most of the clips were in circulation long before the said election.

The Commission should consider the recommendations of this Committee for immediate implementation.

They said the pictures has been in circulation even before the election.

What came to my mind was which election was conducted with the PVC before the 2015 election. None.

They never claimed the images of under aged pupils displaying their PVC were doctored.

The new cases of money exchanging hands during elections in Kogi, Bauchi etc will still have reports written denying such act.

The mods won't recommend this for front page for wider scrutiny.
