The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has called for an extension of voters’ registration exercise by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
SERAP’s request came after INEC extended the deadline for primary elections by six days.
In a statement issued recently, SERAP said the extension of voters’ registration was needed to allow Nigerians exercise their fundamental human rights.
Last month, INEC announced its intention to suspend the online voters’ registration on May 30.
SERAP threatened to sue INEC if it does not extend the voters’ registration exercise.
The statement read: “Following the extension of party primaries deadline by INEC, wẹ call on the body to immediately extend voters’ registration exercise to also give more time for Nigerians to exercise their rights.
“We will sue INEC If voters’ registration is not immediately extended.”
