INEC postpones distribution of Permanent Voters card in nine LGs in Lagos
The Independent National
Electoral Commission has postponed the collection of Permanent Voters card in
nine Local Government Areas in Lagos State till November twenty eight to
November thirty.
The affected councils are
Alimosho, Amuwo Odofin, Apapa, Badagry, Epe, Eti Osa, Oshodi-Isolo, Shomolu and
Surulere.
INEC Resident Electoral
Commissioner in the state, Adekunle Ogunmola who disclosed this in Yaba said
the exercise will still go ahead in other eleven council areas from tomorrow (Friday).
He blamed the postponement
in the affected council areas on non-availability of the cards but assured that
all registered voters in the state will collect their cards at the end of the
exercise.
Adekunle Ogunmola said
Rivers and Nasarawa states will also witness partial distribution.
In his reaction, the state
Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Henry Ajomale demanded the
postponement of the entire exercise in Lagos.
But the state Chairman of
the Labour Party, Abdulhakeem Olaope disagreed with the APC and called for
adequate security for the exercise to be hitch-free.
