There are indications that the Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC, will approach the Court of Appeal seeking to set
aside its earlier ruling concerning the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System,
BVAS.
A senior official of the commission, who did not want his
name mentioned, informed Daily Trust about the development over the weekend in
Abuja.
Recall that the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate,
Peter Obi, and his counterpart in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku
Abubakar, had sought and obtained an order from the Court of Appeal to inspect
election materials used by the INEC.
However, with the gubernatorial election slated for
Saturday, the electoral body intends to ask the court to set aside the order so
it can reconfigure the BVAS before the election.
According to the paper, the official said, “We have to
approach the court to grant us leave to do the re-configuration, as this cannot
be done without the court order. The re-configuration must be done on time as
it would be done manually and would be deployed to the designated PUs.”
