Babajide Kolade-otitoju reacts after INEC announced North West has highest registered voters with 22.6m 

On Sunday, the continuous voter registration exercise finally came to an end as the INEC announced the data of the various geopolitical zones in Nigeria. Seemingly, the North West came out tops with 22.6 Million registered voters as opposed to the 18.3 Million of the South West, and 15.2 Million of the South South.

Meanwhile, during ‘Journalists Hangout’, a politics programme aired by TVC news on Tuesday, Babajide Kolade-otitoju reacted to the ever leading figures of the North when it comes to political activities. Babajide averred that things are made easier for them in the North than in the South.

According to him, the political culture of the North is greater than that of the South West because Northerners don’t joke with their radio. He said that the average Fulani Man is in the forest with his radio because that is what keeps him politically aware. In the South however, he said the orientation is very different.

Babajide explained that it is easier to register in the North than in the South. He said:

“I’ve seen our people waking around 4am to beat the queue where as in the North you’ll see only one person being attended to. if it was this difficult in the North, I don’t think there is any way they would generate those numbers”.
