This is even as the INEC boss has asked new registrants that their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) will be ready for collection on November.
INEC boss, said this at a National Endowment for Democracy event in Washington DC, United States that 2.7 million double registrations were weeded out of the last Continuous Voters Registration exercise conducted by the commission.
Yakubu also said that Nigerians would begin to collect their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) by next month (November).
According to him, about 50 per cent of the new PVCs are ready but yet to be distributed to collection centres, adding the commission was waiting for the delivery of 100 per cent of the cards, to prevent it from being accused wrongly that some people were being denied the cards.
