Justice Obiora Egwuatu gave the order on Thursday while delivering judgment in a suit filed by two Nigerians seeking the use of TVCs in the general elections when Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) are not available.

According to Justice Egwuatu, the order was made on the grounds that the plaintiffs had been duly registered and captured in INEC’s database prior to the commencement of the general election

According to the court, there was no part of the law, both the 1999 Constitution and the Electoral Act that stated that only PVCs could be used in an election but that the law under Section 47 provided for voter’s cards.
