The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said it will appeal the court judgment that asked the commission to accept the use of the Temporary Voter’s Card (TVC) in this year’s general election.
In a tweet via its verified handle @inecnigeria, the commission said: “INEC has been served a copy of the judgment delivered today (yesterday) by the Federal High Court, Abuja Division, which ordered it to allow two plaintiffs to vote with their Temporary Voter’s Card (TVC).
“The commission is taking immediate steps to appeal against the judgment of the trial court.”
The Federal High Court in Abuja had ordered the INEC to allow the use of TVC in the March 18 governorship and House of Assembly election.
Justice Obiora Egwuatu gave the order while delivering judgment yesterday in a suit filed by two aggrieved Nigerians who sought the use of TVCs in this year’s general election in the absence of the Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs). (Nation)
