The Independent National Electoral Commission has responded to a claim by National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, that Permanent Voter Cards have expired.

Tinubu had made the claim while addressing women leaders of the APC, who paid him a visit in Abuja on Tuesday.

The former governor of Lagos State also decried that there had been a decline in the number of eligible voters in recent times.

Reacting, Chief Technical Adviser to the Chairman of INEC, Prof Bolade Eyinla, stated that PVCs previously registered remained valid.

He advised those, who already have PVCs, not to bother about registering for another one.

He said, “This information is not correct. The PVC issued to all previously registered voters remains valid. This kind of statement will certainly push eligible voters to register more than once thereby creating the problem of double and multiple registrations.”

Corroborating Eyinla’s point, Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Mr Rotimi Oyekanmi, pointed out that registering for PVC more than once was an offence under the law.

He said, “In fact, double registration is an offence under our laws. Eligible Nigerians are entitled to register only once. Once a name appears on the National Register of Voters, it stays there permanently.

“One of the very few instances where a name could be removed from the register is if there’s a strong and verifiable proof that the person bearing the name has died.”

Let the movie start while I am eating my popcorn

I will like to see how Tinubu will verbally address issues and questions being asked him.

So this is how the fraud plans to win his 2023 presidency? This man reeks of fraud and everything about him about him is fraudlent.

He is already planning on how to rig the 2023 elections.

Ole, Barawo.

This inec dey somehow confused, even without tinubu saying it, i also plan to re-register as the card is stated to be valid for only 10yrs. I initially did mine in 2011
Another issue i have with the card is the front and back peeling off, with the ink print peeling off with the lamination.
Atm card and other id cards wey i dey even use and touch every day no peel off, na voters card wey i fit no even touch in 6months dey peel
Modified
I can't verify the validity period of the card. Seems it was an erroneous conclusion based on an opinion expressed by form inec chair(jega) during his time. Apologies.

Tinubu is always talking out of point.

Too much Initial gra gra don de spoil things for Tinubu

Tinubu seems to know more than the INEC chairman.
If the PVCs are not truly expired, What’s the essence of registering online again? If someone doesn’t register online but have a PVC, can’t the person vote? I need an explanation please.

Tinubu is also going senile? Or he thought he was contesting for INEC Chairmanship position?

If you have your PVC there is no need for any registration either online or physically. I dont even think there is any online INEC registration. Whatever is done online if any, must still be physically completed.

Old age is catching up on Tinubu .. He should go and be playing with his great grand children

there’s an online registration going on. Is it for people who haven’t registered before or what? Is there something FG isn’t telling Nigerians about 2023 elections? Tinubu might be right

Have all of you insulting Tinubu engaged your brain to think for a minute? The man talks and Nigeria stops with the high and mighty responding in minutes when they are usually happy to ignore others.

Be it INEC, Buni, Malami, Bode George or even Buhari the man Tinubu always gets a response to his action or utterance.

No doubt Tinubu is a formidable candidate everyone is afraid of.

Yes he is formidable.

But we deserve better.

Perhaps you need to gain thinking maturity then if you think old age is Tinubu's problem. Why has INEC reacted even before Tinubu finished his sentence?

Continuous voter registration. You do not need to register if you have your PVC (in fact, you should not register if you have your PVC). However, there are people who have just turned 18 and people who have not previously registered for one reason or the other. The CVR is for them.

You can also use the online portal to review your details, request to update your details or request for a transfer of your voter's card.

Can anyone you consider "better" win?

The biggest secret those who dont want our country to make progress are successfully hiding from you and many Nigerians, so far, is that they fear Tinubu is the only Southerner who has the clout to win and then deploy the folks people like you consider "better" to reposition Nigeria.

It is a game of chess. Non of those that ordinary Nigerians consider "better" can win. Forget it. They need a formidable enabler like BAT to bring them to prominence and shield
them to work.

Not Adeshina, not NOI not even Moghalu (less than 30k in 2019 election) or Sowore (33k votes to Buhari's 25 million votes in 2019) etal can win so stop the naivete that does not match our reality.

We will throw Nigeria away with idealism our Country is not mature enough to handle.

Many you claim are "better" already contested against Buhari and Atiku in 2019. Buhari polled 15 million votes and Atiku 11 million plus. All the "betters" did not get above 100k votes with your superstar Oby Ezekwesili getting a miserable 6k votes.

When will some of us learn? At least we know Nigeria, under Tinubj, will be run by the finest hands who would never have been included in leadership unless brought to prominence by the the political talent and sagacity of BAT.

We all love to praise Fashola, Osinbajo, Sanwo Olu and many other but you should tell me if any would be where they are today but for BAT. Fashola and Osinbajo would still be running their law offices but for Tinubu.

There is a reason owners of Nigeria are terrified of Tinubu. They know that whatever is going on with him, Nigeria, under Tinubu, will be run by the best team and best brains anyone can assemble. That is the greatest fear of those who want Nigeria to remain the same.

Osinbajo, Peter Obi, Fashola, Duke are good younger candidates who can win the general election if made a party's candidate. Jagaban should hang his boots.

your next Afonja president

Non of my business

Dementia

Na so BAT dn start with 1st promise
1. All WAEC fees shall be paid by all federal government
2. If he wins APC= ALL PROMISES CANCEL

Sign of dementia. PVC does not have expiring date. Werry wan be president. God help Nigeria from this ancestor.

Where's the link to the video?

Buhari pro max
