BREAKING: House of Reps orders INEC to allow Nigerians vote with temporary voter’s card
The House of Representatives has ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to allow eligible voters vote with their Temporary Voters Card, TVCs, during the general elections in February.
The House of Reps gave the directive to INEC after passing a resolution to allow eligible Nigerians use their temporary voters’ card in the February polls.
According to the honorable members of the House, this step became necessary due to the fact that a lot of Nigerians are yet to get their Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) and many may not be allowed to perform their civic right as long as the commission insists on using PVCs during the polls.
In addition, the House resolved to look into the allegation made by the Department of State Security, DSS that a political party attempted to hack into INEC’s database to increase the party’s membership and influence votes.
Also,it was resolved by the House to set up a high powered committee to investigate the issue and report its findings back to the House in two weeks. The resolutions were made following two different motions moved by the Minority Leader, Femi Gbajabiamila and Deputy Leader, Leo Ogor.
