In a statement written to INEC, “The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been served a copy of the judgement delivered today by the Federal High Court, Abuja Division which ordered it to allow two Plaintiffs to vote with their Temporary Voter’s Card (TVC).” The Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to the INEC Chairman, Rotimi Oyekanmi, in a statement on Thursday, March 9 stated the electoral body will take the case to the appeal court. However, Justice Egwuatu said he was unable to grant prayer three which was to allow every eligible voter with a temporary voter’s card to vote because the suit was not filed in a representative capacity. Justice Egwuatu said the order was made on the grounds that the plaintiffs were duly registered and captured in INEC’s database. Justice Obiora Egwuatu in an unanimous judgement had given the order permitting the use of the TVCs while delivering Judgement in a suit filed by two concerned Nigerians seeking the use of TVCs in the general elections in the absence of permanent voter cards (PVCs).

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Nigeria’s electoral umpire has decided to appeal a court judgement granting the request of two plaintiffs to use their temporary voter cards, TVCs.
