INEC says Fashola, others must re- register (PVC)

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 in 2010 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.
