The Independent National Electoral Commission has been ordered to immediately resume continuous voter registration (CVR) until 90 days before the 2023 general elections.
Justice Inyang Ekwo, of the Federal High Court in Abuja, on Tuesday, in a judgment, also directed the INEC to ensure that eligible Nigerians are not deprived of the opportunity to have the voter’s card for the forthcoming poll.
Justice Ekwo held that it was the constitutional responsibility of the electoral umpire to make adequate provisions for the exercise in accordance with Nigerian laws.
“The case of the plaintiffs succeeds on merit,” the judge declared.
NAN reports that Anajat Salmat and three others had sued INEC as the sole defendant in a suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/1343/2022.
In the originating summons filed before the court, the plaintiffs argued that INEC cannot stop the CVR contrary to the stipulated provisions of the constitution.
They urged the court to order the electoral umpire to resume the exercise in accordance with the law of the country.
