The chairman of INEC, Mahmood Yakubu gave the hint at the Tafawa Balewa Square, TBS, in Lagos on Saturday, June 11, 2022.
Yakubu attended the concert organized by Yiaga Africa and the European Union, EU, to mobilize youths to get their Permanent Voter’s Card, PVC.
The electoral chief informed young Nigerians that INEC would soon make its decision public.
“We have heard your requests loud and clear. You will soon hear from us on the extension of CVR registration.
“Please assure me that you will register, pick your PVCs, and vote. I also assure you that your vote will count,” he said.
On Friday, INEC confirmed the surge in registration for voter’s cards.
National Commissioner, Festus Okoye announced the deployment of more than 200 machines to South-East states, Lagos and Kano.
