Ogakwu,Secretary to the Commission said in a statement.This came two days after the commission announced the postponement of the general elections in Nigeria.
“The collection of the cards will continue for four more weeks until March 8th, 2015”Ogakwu said.
The statement recalled that “INEC had on Saturday, February 07th 2015, rescheduled the 2015 general elections by six weeks due to security challenges. The national elections (i.e. Presidential and National Assembly) have been rescheduled to hold on March 28th 2015 while the state elections (Governorship and State Assembly) will now hold on April 11th 2015.
