Four plaintiffs have asked the Federal High Court in Abuja to order the
postponement of the general elections scheduled for February 14 and 28
till when all eligible voters have their Permanent Voter Card.
The
plaintiffs who claimed that the Independent National Electoral
Commission had yet to issue them their PVC, are Asogo Torkuma Venatius,
Ola Solomon Oluwasanmi, Sunday Attah and Philip Agbese.
Insisting
that INEC was under statutory obligation to provide them with the PVC,
they are also asking the court to order the use of Temporary Voters Card
for those who are unable to collect their PVC.
There are indications the general elections may be postponed.
Outside of calls here and there, a legal process has been instituted.
