Abuja - The Independent National
Electoral Commission has forbidden it's
plan to create an additional 30,000
Polling Units as the proposal triggered
controversy, PremiumTimes reported. The decision by INEC to create the
21,000 units in the south and 8,000 in
the north was based on the number of
registered voters. Also read: INEC to extend issuance of PVC in Lagos INEC Chairman, Attahiru Jega has been
criticized over the ratio in the
geopolitical zones, some leaders have
called for him to resign.
The commission has decided to
discontinue the plan until after the polls next year, however the electoral
body has vowed it will continue with
the Voter Points where necessary to
ease pressure in the coming elections.

It must be suspended for now.
The timing for such project looks more of a fraud than genuine.
Who is sure voting will take place in some part of the area in view?
We are in a free zone now, yet to pick our PVC is problematic, what is going to happen when actual voting comes proper?

Jega has done so well sanitizing INEC and should not have even brought up this issue of 30,000 polling units in the first place. Any way, good that he sees reasons to suspend the move
