 The credibility of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) voters’ register has come under intense scrutiny ahead of the 2027 general elections, following revelations by INEC Chairman Professor Joash Amupitan that names of deceased persons remain on the register. Amupitan disclosed that names of voters who died as far back as 15 years ago are still listed, a situation critics say could undermine the integrity of the 2027 polls and lead to significant financial waste through the printing of excess ballot papers and other election logistics. The INEC chairman made the revelation while receiving the Director-General/Chief Executive Officer of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), Abisoye Coker-Odusote, and her management team during a courtesy visit in Abuja on Wednesday.

According to Channels tv, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, representing Abia North Senatorial District, has warned that Nigeria will continue to struggle with national development as long as the political and economic system remains unfair to the Igbo people. 


Speaking during an interview, the former Abia State Governor emphasized that no nation can progress while deliberately marginalizing a section of its population that plays a vital role in its economy and unity.


“As long as you want to clamp down on the Igbos, the country will find it difficult to develop,” Kalu declared. “You cannot suppress a people who are hardworking, innovative, and deeply invested in the progress of Nigeria, and still expect peace and prosperity to thrive.”


According to Kalu, the Southeast has suffered long-standing neglect in federal appointments, infrastructure, and political representation despite its unwavering contributions to the nation’s growth. 


He argued that the Igbo people’s entrepreneurial spirit, commitment to education, and resilience in the face of adversity make them a vital pillar of Nigeria’s socio-economic development.


“The Igbos are found in every corner of Nigeria,They build businesses, create jobs, and pay taxes. But when it comes to sharing national opportunities, they are often left behind. This is not just unfair — it’s counterproductive for national progress.”


He stressed that inclusivity and fairness are essential ingredients for stability and growth, urging leaders at all levels to embrace justice and equity. “No part of Nigeria should feel alienated. If you want the country to develop, you must give every group a fair sense of belonging. Development cannot thrive in an atmosphere of exclusion,” he said.


The Senator also advised the federal government to take deliberate steps toward rebuilding trust with the Southeast by prioritizing infrastructure, education, and industrial development in the region.
