The National Human Rights Commission on Monday, said it would set up a national hate speech register to track incitful and hate speeches in campaigns for the 2023 elections.

“The onus is on those who seek to police speech, especially on social media to walk this fine line and strike the right balance in order to ensure that human rights are not further violated, whilst fighting hate speech.”

The NHRC also said hinted that already plans were underway to design PVC observatory centres across the country to observe and collect difficulties encountered by citizens during collection of PVC. Ojukwu said the trend had negative consequences to the growth and sustenance of Nigeria’s democracy and laid the foundation for a subsequent radical shift in voter behaviour as evidenced in the apathy and regression in electoral participation that would be witnessed in subsequent elections.

“Of the 84,004,084 registered voters in 2019, only 28,614,190 voters cast their ballots at the presidential election. In per capita terms, turn out in the 2019 election represents the lowest in the West African sub-region.
