Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello’s name
has disappeared from the voters register
after being accused of double registration,
The Nation reports.
Bello’s name has been delisted, but the
Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) has a photograph showing how he
was registered at the Government House,
Lokoja.
The Nation said the commission has raised
an investigative committee to unravel the
“mystery surrounding the alleged double
registration by the governor”.
Heads may roll in the Kogi State office of
INEC for the alleged “untoward activities of
some of our staff”.
A source who pleaded anonymity told The
Nation that: “The INEC management has
raised an investigative team to look at the
controversy over the allegation of double
registration by the governor.
“It is however curious that the
investigation has assumed a new
dimension. The commission has the
photograph of the registration of the
governor but his name is not on the list of
the CVR for that day in question. The name
has disappeared.”
INEC alleged that the governor first
registered in Abuja in January 2011 and
reregistered on May 23, 2017 at the
Government House, Lokoja but the
Governor on Friday denied the multiple
registration.
