  "account": "Former INEC Director Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi has warned that a compromised voter register cannot guarantee credible elections in Nigeria, particularly ahead of the 2027 general elections. During an interview on Channels Television's Politics Today, Osaze-Uzzi expressed concern over the state of Nigeria's electoral system, stating that the voter register is riddled with irregularities. He emphasized that unless the register is cleaned up, Nigeria cannot expect free and fair elections in 2027. Osaze-Uzzi warned that if INEC fails to conduct a thorough audit and sanitization of the register, the 2027 elections could be marred by the same controversies that marred the 2023 polls. He urged the electoral body to remove outdated entries such as dead persons, underage voters, and individuals with multiple registrations. Furthermore, Osaze-Uzzi called for the voter register to be made publicly available for scrutiny by Nigerians before the elections.",
