He said this became necessary because there are some areas where the necessary logistics were not made available by the electoral body.

“We will take all the appropriate steps to ensure that this is done. Thus, we want to appeal to the general public especially our members and supporters to do anything necessary to ensure that the issue of registration is given adequate priority.

“Unless we have registered voters, how many supporters we have will not make sense. So for us, this issue is very central,” he said.

Lukman further explained that at their recent meeting with the governors, ministers, and other stakeholders in the zone, they advised them to set up a research and planning committee, adding that the committee would be in charge of  the special room”
