The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has explained why the Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar and the Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola have not yet been issued Permanent Voters Cards (PVC).
INEC stated on Monday, February 2, through its Deputy Director of Voter Education and Publicity, Nick Dazang that the Sultan and Fashola had not yet gotten voters cards because of data loss from some of the commission’s machines.
Dazang stated further, during a one-day workshop held for journalists in Kaduna, that the data loss had resulted in a loss of the fingerprint records of some Nigerians.
