Adegbuyi Calls For Geographic Audit Of Nigeria’s Voters’ Register.
A former Postmaster-General of the Federation and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST), Bisi Adegbuyi, has called for an independent technical review of Nigeria’s voters’ register.
Adegbuyi said the review should go beyond establishing voter identity to examine the geographic accuracy, consistency and verifiability of registration records.
He made the call in a statement against the backdrop of recent concerns over the integrity of the voters’ register and questions surrounding some voter records.
According to him, credible elections require attention not only to how election results are transmitted, but also to the accuracy of the geographic information attached to voter registrations. Adegbuyi recalled that he had proposed a technical framework on February 27, 2026, for modernising legacy voter addresses without disrupting existing electoral arrangements. The proposal recommended the use of machine-assisted interpretation, geographic resolution and deterministic digital location referencing to improve the quality of voter-location data. He said the approach could help electoral administrators identify inconsistencies, detect unusual geographic concentrations and strengthen the auditability of polling-unit assignments.
