Millions of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) are yet to be collected a few days before the deadline.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) admitted this yesterday, 24 hours after it gave the list of registered voters as 93.47 million.
The electoral agency last night extended the collection deadline by eight days. It will now expire on January 29.
The presidential election is slated for February 25. The National Assembly election is also slated for the same day.
The governorship and House of Assembly election will hold on March 11.
INEC, which released the final list of 93.5 million registered voters for this year’s general election on Wednesday, predicated the extension on the need for all registered voters to have “ample opportunity” to collect their cards
