The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has advised Nigerians to disregard false assurances that are contrary to the commission’s electoral rules and regulations.
The advice is contained in a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Kayode Idowu, on Friday in Abuja. The Governorship and State Assemblies elections will hold on Saturday.
The statement said that the commission would not allow the use of the Temporary Voter Cards (TVCs).
It stated that the commission received a report that some political leaders were asking the public to disregard INEC's resolve to use Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and Smart Card Readers (SCRs) for the poll.
"A particular state governor in the North Central geo-political zone is reported to have assured voters in the state that they could come out to vote on Saturday with the TVC if they do not have the PVC.
"And that INEC will not be allowed to insist on the use of SCRs for voter accreditation.
