The Incorporated Trustees of the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law had dragged INEC to court.
The association commended INEC for extending the deadline for collection of the Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
“I seize the opportunity of this visit to appeal to Nigerians to please go to the designated polling units,” the INEC chair said.
The association stressed that the shutdown would allow students to obtain their PVCs.
She therefore urged Nigerians not to allow themselves to be misled by making the right choice in the 2023 general election.
“Vote, but don’t kill. Vote for good governance and a better Nigeria. This election will come and go,” said the NOA director. “Say no to violence.”
“This is to enable the good people of Ebonyi, who are yet to collect their PVCs.”
More than 386,000 Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) are awaiting collection in Ondo, says INEC.
The Senate has tasked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure that the 2023 general election is free, fair and credible.
The plaintiffs, in the suit, prayed the court for an order compelling INEC to release their PVCs and all members of their class to enable them to vote in the forthcoming general elections.
