There were hiccups across the country as Nigerians stormed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) local government offices to collect their permanent voter cards (PVCs).
With the January 22 deadline looming, the cards were not available in some centres, while there were queues in others and low turnout in some.
But, INEC called for patience, saying the issues would be addressed.
At many of the collection centres, the complaints were the same.
Registered voters whose particulars showed that their PVCs were ready for collection could not find them.
Most of the registered voters whose PVCs were supposed to have been ready, according to the INEC timeline, were not yet produced.
