Plateau Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mr. Habu Zarma, on Monday ruled out the possibility of extending the distribution of the Permanent Voters’ Cards in the state.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the three-day exercise ended on Sunday with many voters yet to have access to the cards.
The exercise was characterised by lots of confusion as many polling units were not even open for the activity.
Plateau House of Assembly Chief Whip, Mr. Timothy Golu, on Sunday called for the extension of the exercise and premised his stance on the confusion that had trailed it.
But Zarma, who reacted to the complaints, declared that the distribution had been closed and advised voters yet to access their cards to visit the INEC offices in their respective local government areas.
Zarma said unregistered voters should participate in a fresh registration between November 12 and 19.
The commissioner however, commended voters for their orderly conduct throughout the three-day exercise, and particularly expressed satisfaction at the enthusiasm shown by all.
