You Must Re-Register To Get Your Permanent Voter's Card, INEC Tells Gov. Fashola

The Independent National Electoral Commission on Friday failed to distribute Permanent Voter Cards at the Ward G3, State Junior Secondary School, the polling unit where the State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, and his wife, Abimbola, registered.

It was learnt that some INEC ad-hoc staff had earlier pasted a notice to notify voters who had registered in the two wards on Itolo Street that they had no PVC. The commission said the voters would have to register afresh at a later date.

The notice pasted at the entrance of the school read, "We regret to inform you that those who registered in this polling unit do not have Permanent Voter Cards. Please come back
between 3rd and 8th of December 2014 for fresh registration."

Lagos State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr. Adekunle Ogunmola, attributed the development to loss of data arising from the crash of their computing system.

"Yes, some of the data captured during the registration in2010 crashed. This was the reason we lost about 1.4 million data for voters. We are embarking on fresh registration for them and others who were unable to register in the 2010 registration."

Fashola had yet to react to the development.
