INFORMATION KIT FOR 2015 GENERAL ELECTIONS

2

FOREWARD

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has come a long way since 2011 in making the Nigerian electoral process transparent, as a way of ensuring that elections are free, fair and credible and that they measure up to global best standards of democratic elections. We have done this not only by reforms that have been in the electoral procedures, but also in the way informationon the process is made available for public use and awareness.

Even though the yearnings of many Nigerians for a perfect electoral process may not have been fulfilled yet, our reforms since 2011 has ensured incremental improvement in the quality and credibility of elections that have been conducted. Beginning with some of the Governorship elections conducted by INEC since 2013, the Commission began to articulate Information Kits for the enlightenment of the public, especially election observers and journalists who may need some background information in order to follow and adequately undertstand the electoral process.

With the 2015 General Elections scheduled to take place nationwide, this document is unique, in that it brings together electoral information about all the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). I am optimistic that this kit will contribute to the body of knowledge about the Nigerian electoral system and enhance the transparency of the 2015 elections.

AKNOWLEDGEMENT

A compilation of this sort cannot but be a product of the entire organisation’s collective effort: the Commission, led by Hon. Chairman, who gave approval for project execution; the Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) who activated the process of providing the required information from their respective jurisdiction; and the Adminstrative Secretaries who provided the responses to the national headquarters. The need to make an information package like this compedium available to the public is a commitment mutually shared within the Commission, and which all worked hard to deliver.

A major credit for the compilation goes to Princess Hamman-Obels who worked the phones relentlessly to get INEC states offices to provide their input in the specific form required, and who worked the computers for long hours to format the content. Credit also goes to Chinwe Ogbuka who re-worked the histories of the states and the FCT into compact forms suitable for this compilation.

INTRODUCTION

Information is necessary for efficient functioning in every sphere of human endeavour. For the Nigerian electoral system, and the 2015 General Elections in particular, some basic information can be helpful in understanding and interpreting the processes, as well as in connecting with various stakeholders in election management. This compedium is designed to provide such basic information.

The Information Kit is a user-friendly compilation of electoral information about the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory where the 2015 elections will be conducted. The document will provide the user an overview of basic statistics about the electoral features of each state, the election managers and their contact lines, as well as representatives security agencies on the platform of ICCES and their contact lines. These bits of information will be useful for anyone wishing to follow and understand the polling process. It is hoped that voters, media professionals and election observers, among others, will find the kit handy in understanding the processes of the general election.

BRIEF HISTORY

Anambra State is in the south-east geopolitical zone of Nigeria. The old Anambra state was created in 1976 when the then East Central State was divided into Anambra and Imo states. Following the August 1991 states creation exercise, Enugu State and Abakaliki (in Ebonyi State) was excised; leaving Anambra State as presently constituted, with Awka as its capital. It shares boundaries with Kogi State to the north, Enugu State to the east, Imo, Abia and Rivers states to the south, and Delta and Edo state to the west. The people of Anambra State are Igbo. The state has a total land area of 4,416 sq. km spreading across 21 Local Government Areas (LGAs). Apart from Awka, the state capital, some other major towns are Onitsha, Nnewi, Obosi, Ihiala, Aguata, Oko, Uli, Ojoto, Abagana, Nkpor, Ogidi, Okija, Awkuzu, Umuleri and Aguleri. Anambra State falls within the south-east geo-political zone of Nigeria. It has a population of about four million, one hundred and seventy-seven thousand, eight hundred and twenty-eight (4,177,828) based on the 2004 National Census. The state has the following electoral statistical information: (i) 21 Local Government Areas (LGAs); (ii) 326 Registration Areas (RAs); (iii) 3 Senatorial Districts; (iv) 11 Federal Constituencies; and (v) 33 State Constituencies.

Bauchi State covers about 49,259 Km2 with a population of 4,653,066 according to 2006 census. The state is heterogeneous, with predominant tribes like Hausa, Fulani, Jarawa, Tangale, Waja, Balewa, Sayawa and Tarewa. The major language is Hausa. The entire western and northern parts of the state are generally mountainous and rocky. This is as a result of the closeness of the state to the Jos (Plateau State) and Cameroon mountains.

IMO

BRIEF HISTORY Imo State was created in Februray 1976. It derives its name from Imo River which currently forms a natural boundary between the state and Abia State that was carved out from it in 1991.

Imo State has an estimated area of 5,156.6 sq.kilometres. The state has 27 LGAs and is culturally homogeneous, with the inhabitants being largely Igbo. The major language is Igbo although the official language is English.

With population density ranging between 200-1500 persons per square kilometer, there is much pressure on the land. Land therefore is a very sensitive issue in the cultural heritage of the Igbo people. The population is almost evenly distributed across the state, and family compound setting is very important and strong. The major nucleated settlements in the state include Owerri, Okigwe and Orlu. Owerri is the capital, and attracts many people from all over the state that still retain their indigenous home affiliation.

BRIEF HISTORY

Kaduna State was part of the former North – Central State, which was created in 1967 when Nigeria changed from four (4) Regional system to 19 state structure. In 1987, it was divided into two along the line of the old provincial boundary, thus Katsina province became Katsina State, while Zaria province formed the present Kaduna State. The state capital is Kaduna – a status it has enjoyed since the old Northern Region days. There are twenty three (23) Local Government Areas in the state, and it covers an area of 44,408.3 square kilometers. The population according to 2006 census is 6,066,562, which then put the density at about 137 persons per square kilometer. Kaduna State is a major industrial axis in the North, while Kaduna town has a lot of commercial activities and industries like the Peugeot car assembly and the petroleum refinery. Few textile industries still exist. The state has an airport, which is accessible all year round because of fair weather. It is also a major railway junction for the entire railway system between the North and the South.

BRIEF HISTORY

Kogi State, with a land area of 29,833 square kilometres, was carved out of Kwara and Benue states on August 27, 1991. Kogi is one of the states in the north-central zone of Nigeria. It is popularly called the confluence state due to the fact that the confluence of Rivers Niger and Benue occur there. There are three main ethnic groups in the state namely Igala, Ebira, and Okun; with the Igalas being the largest ethnic group. Lokoja is the state capital. Kogi State, with a population of 3,314,043 according to 2006 census, is the most centrally located of all the states of the federation.
