By Lateef Ibrahim, Abuja

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has described as untrue, the report making the rounds, that it will resume the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) and replacement of lost Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) on 27th May this year.

The Prof Mahmood Yakubu-led INEC pointedly declared that it has not announced any resumption date for the CVR.

The clarification was made in a statement Wednesday by the Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Mr Rotimi Oyekanmi in Abuja.

The Commission appealed to the public to disregard the false narrative.

The statement by Oyekanmi reads, “The attention of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been drawn to a misleading report making the rounds, that we will resume the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) and replacement of lost Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) on 27th May 2025.
