EDITOR’S PICK

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the House of Representatives, on Wednesday, instructed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to extend the deadline for continuous voter registration by 60 days.

The new directive is coming shortly after a motion was moved by Ben Kalu (APC, Abia) Wednesday.

The House mandated the Committee on Electoral Matters to engage INEC to examine and proffer solutions to the shortage of registration machines and manpower and deploy an additional 30 voter registration machines in each local government area, train and deploy ad-hoc staff to improve the shortage of manpower at registration centres, provide security for the Ad-hoc staff.

In his motion, Kalu said due to the surge, the electoral umpire should extend the time for registration.

He noted that Nigerians still want to register for their PVCs.

Consequently, the House directed the House Committee on Electoral Matters to liaise with INEC on the extension.

This news platform gathered that, in recent weeks, there has been a surge in the number of persons registering for PVC.
