:🔥 2027 Election Alert: Should Prisoners Be Allowed to Vote? Experts Warn of Possible Manipulation! 🔥
Posted: Thu Aug 14, 2025 10:06 am
The recent announcement by INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu about allowing inmates to vote in the 2027 elections has sparked heated debates across Nigeria! 
While some hail it as a major step for democracy, others fear it could open doors for election rigging and manipulation. Here’s what’s going on:
Key Points from INEC & Reactions:
Court Backs Prisoner Voting – An Appeal Court ruling grants inmates the right to vote, and INEC is working with the Correctional Service to implement it.
Legal Experts Support It – Barrister Zurkallaini Sani Tsanyawa says it aligns with the 1999 Constitution, but warns against politicians exploiting the system.
Political Analysts Are Worried – Prof. Kamilu Sani Fagge (Bayero University) suggests a mock election first to test the process and prevent fraud.
The Big Question:
Should prisoners vote?
YES – It’s their constitutional right, and excluding them is undemocratic.
NO – It could be abused, leading to inflated votes and rigging.
What’s your take?
Should INEC proceed, or is this too risky for Nigeria’s elections?
How can we ensure inmates vote freely without manipulation?
