Lagos, Kano and Kaduna states have emerged as the three states with the highest number of registered voters ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Joash Amupitan, disclosed this on Tuesday in Abuja, announcing that the country’s national register of voters has risen to 110 million.
