Nigerians could face more disenfranchisement in 2027, says Nwankwo

Clement Nwankwo of the Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre says Nigeria's voter register for the 2027 elections contains AI-generated photos and information, casting doubt on its credibility. He also questions the jump from over 90 million to 103 million registered voters and criticises INEC for poor communication with parties and inadequate preparations that could lead to more disenfranchisement.
