APC chieftain urges INEC to review PWD voter figures

The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Leader for Persons with Disabilities, Tolu Bankole, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to review its figures for Persons with Disabilities (PWD) on the national voters' register. Bankole argued that the current figure of 137,487 PWDs does not represent the total number of registered voters with disabilities in the country, as it only covers those who indicated their disability status after 2021.

He urged INEC to provide more context to the statistics, including temporal and methodological limitations, and to intensify sensitization efforts to ensure accurate reporting.
