A chieftain of the Motion Peoples Get together (APP) and member representing Ideato North/South Federal Constituency of Imo State within the Home of Representatives, Hon. Ikenga Ugochinyere, has counseled the Impartial Nationwide Electoral Fee (INEC) for its proactive motion in adjusting the deadline for political events to submit their membership registers.
The Fee shifted the deadline from April 21 to Might 10, 2026, as introduced in an announcement on Thursday in Abuja by INEC’s Nationwide Commissioner and Chairman, Info and Voter Training Committee, Mohammed Kudu Haruna.
The Fee’s determination adopted interactions with political celebration leaders earlier final week.
Reacting to the event, Hon. Ugochinyere described the adjustment as a constructive and forward-looking measure, noting that it demonstrated INEC’s dedication to making sure inclusive and environment friendly electoral processes.
He emphasised that the extension will give political events enough time to organise their membership information correctly, guaranteeing that each one eligible members are accounted for in compliance with electoral laws.
In keeping with him, the transfer mirrored the Fee’s dedication to transparency and equity within the conduct of elections.
The lawmaker, due to this fact, urged political events to make the most of the extension to replace and confirm their membership information precisely.
He additionally referred to as on INEC to proceed participating with stakeholders throughout the political spectrum to make sure that electoral processes are easy, well-coordinated, and free from pointless disputes.
Hon. Ugochinyere reaffirmed his confidence in INEC’s means to conduct elections that mirror the desire of Nigerians.
The lawmaker counseled the Fee’s management, notably the chairman, Professor Joash Amupitan, describing the choice as a “proactive step that strengthens democracy and encourages full participation by all political actors.”
