The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has extend the deadline for continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise.

WAKADAILY earlier reported that, “SERAP and 185 concerned Nigerians had early this month filed the lawsuit against INEC asking the court to “declare unconstitutional, illegal, and incompatible with international standards the failure of the electoral body to extend the deadline for voter registration to alloww eligible Nigerians to exercise their rights.”

The National Commissioner Festus Okoye, while speaking on Channel Television’s Politics today said,  “INEC is disposed towards extending voter registration. An extension is inevitable. But not up to the period that some people are canvassing.”

“We are convinced that after we make our arguments, the court will be convinced on why we cannot extend the CVR beyond a certain period

“But we are convinced, given the enthusiasm of Nigerians, given the new resolve of Nigerians to register, that an extension is inevitable.”
