The leader of the National Consultative Front (NCF) and Convener of the Big Tent, Professor Pat Utomi, on Tuesday said the suspension of voter registration could lead to the disenfranchisement of many Nigerians.
He urged the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) to resume voter registration until the end of October at least.
Professor Utomi made the comments while speaking at a World Press Conference in Lagos.
Professor Utomi also asked INEC to make it mandatory for contestants to participate in open debates.
In his words “We would like to make INEC insist that anyone who cannot participate in a debate should be disqualified from that election; especially at the presidential, gubernatorial and National Assembly levels”.
“We should have open debates, and not one, not two, but multiple debates.”
