The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has assured Nigerians especially Youths that the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration which was initially scheduled to end on June 30, 2022, will be extended.
This was disclosed by the Chairman of the Prof Mahmood Yakubu on Saturday during the Youth Vote Count Concert held in Abuja.
The Federal High Court in Abuja had earlier this week stopped INEC from ending the ongoing voter registration exercise as scheduled.
The program that was held at Old Parade Ground, Abuja, on Saturday, had INEC officials in attendance.
Addressing the Youths,INEC boss said,“I want to assure you on behalf of the commission that the registration won’t end on June 30 for as long as we have you people trying to register, we will continue to register you.”
“In the last five days, we have registered over 14,000 Nigerians in this place alone.
“We have about 50 voter registration machines. For as long as you people have been trying to register to obtain your PVC, we will continue to register you and we will continue to make sure that you get your PVC.
“Register,collect your PVC,go out to vote on the day of election, don’t sell your vote and your vote will count.
“I can assure you that 2023 General Elections will be credible”, Mahmood added
