ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has postponed the Saturday’s governorship and State Assembly elections to March 18, 2023, ITREALMS reports.

This development is coming barely three days before the March 11 date as earlier slated for the state elections.


Also, news bulletin monitored in Lagos on NTA Extra by ITREALMS confirmed the postponement was due to INEC's unfit to promptly commence reconfiguration of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) machines deployed earlier for the February 25 Presidential and National Assembly elections for use in the states.


ITREALMS recalled that an Presidential Appeal Pannel had earlier Wednesday, restrained INEC from tampering with the information embedded in the BVAS machines until such a time due inspection would be conducted and Certified True Copies (CTC) issued to candidates who are challenging the outcome of the presidential election.

INEC also received nod from the court on its request to configure the BVAS for the governorship and state elections.
