The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has directed the suspension of preparations for the planned voter revalidation exercise nationwide.
According to reports, the directive was contained in a memo, signed by Rose
Oriaran-Anthony, Secretary to the Commission.
The report said Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECS) have been asked to halt all publicity and logistical arrangements for the exercise pending further instructions.
INEC also directed that a scheduled meeting with the RECs would now be held virtually, with
commissioners advised to remain in their respective states.
The commission noted that further updates would be communicated in due course.
