Nigeria’s electoral commission, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has decided to postpone Saturday’s Governorship and State Assembly elections by one week.
The elections which were earlier scheduled to hold on March 11 will now hold on March 18, 2023, according to a source in INEC.
The move by INEC comes on the heels of Wednesday’s ruling by the Presidential Election Petition Court sitting at the Court of Appeal in Abuja granting it permission to reconfigure the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS).
