Today, Friday, 28th of July 2023, the Court of Appeal struck out INEC’s appeal in the the case of INEC v. Kofoworola & Anor. Appeal No:CA/ABJ/CV/364/2023; where the respondents were represented by their counsel Opatola Victor Esq.

The matter was on whether the registered voters can use their Temporary Voter Card to vote in place of their Permanent Voter Card during election.

You will recall that the Federal High Court had, in March 2023, given a judgment that allowed the use of Temporary Voter Cards for voting, in place of Permanent Voter Card. However, INEC disagreed with this judgment and appealed the decision.

The Court of Appeal, after careful consideration, has now struck out INEC’s appeal.

This means that the judgment given by the Federal High Court stands.

This is a significant victory on the use of Temporary Voter Cards to vote in Nigeria. A decision that will impact how people participate in future elections.

Victor Opatola Esq.

I think this is fair enough

With the use of BVAS, a voter only need to appear with an evidence whether permanent voter card or temporary voter card to show the he or she is a registered voter of which it will be reconfirmed by the BVAS

Good to see that some sane Nigerians will go to any length to get justice.
But the sad reality is that votes don't usually count in this part of the world.

Very good one. Foolish Manhood Yakubu INEC. You issued temporary Voters card to do what. If you know they cannot use it to vote why not issue original one instantly. Nonsense. During the rerun we will use out printed temporary card to voted Peter Obi who will now make diasporal to votes as well. Manhood Yankubu must acount for the Billions spent on the last election. jail is waiting for the Animal.

This shouldn't be news to gloat or be happy over. This is simply more votes for INEC to steal and deliver to the highest bidder.

Why do government lawyers always lose even when they supposedly have a good case.

A temporal ID card is in leu of the main one and usually have an expiry date. If the issuing body says your card has expired, it has expired. If you are given a temporal driver's license for example, it should expire within the time stipulated, after which you are now supposed to produce your real driver's license.

There should always be a performance review for government lawyers and prosecutor department so that they can always seat up.

They lose too many cases.
