The Federal High Court, Abuja on Thursday, ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) to allow the use of Temporary Voter Cards, (TVC) in the March 18 governorship and state houses of assembly elections.<\/p>\n

Justice Obiora Egwuatu made the order while delivering judgment in a suit filed by two aggrieved Nigerians seeking the use of TVCs in the general elections in the absence of the Permanent Voter Cards, (PVCs).<\/p>\n

Justice Egwuatu said that the order was made on the grounds that the plaintiffs were duly registered and captured in INEC\u2019S database.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn order is made compelling the defendant (INEC) to allow the plaintiffs to vote using their Temporary Voter Cards issued by the defendant, the plaintiffs having been duly captured in the National Register of Voter\u2019s database.<\/p>\n

\u201d A declaration is made by this court that the plaintiffs, having fulfilled all necessary legal requirements to register and having consequently been captured in the defendant\u2019s (INEC\u2019s) central database and manual, printed paper based record or hard copy format of the defendant\u2019s maintained Register of Voters, the plaintiffs are entitled to vote using their Temporary Voter Cards in the forthcoming 2023 General Election,\u201d the judge said.<\/p>\n

The judge however, said that he was unable to grant prayer three which was to allow every eligible voter with a TVC to vote because the suit was not filed in a representative capacity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis suit having not been brought in a representative capacity, I find myself unable to grant any relief pursuant to prayer three of the plaintiffs application.\u201d<\/p>\n

The court held that there was no portion of the law, both the 1999 Constitution and the Electoral Act that states that it is only PVCs that could be used, but that the law under Section 47 provided for a voter\u2019s card.<\/p>\n

Speaking to newsmen, counsel to the plaintiffs, Mr Victor Opatola said that the judgment was a win for all Nigerians who suffered to get registered to vote, were duly registered but due to no fault of theirs could not get their PVCs before the election.<\/p>\n

According to Opatola, since my clients had fulfilled all necessary requirements by law but were not issued their PVCs until the time for collection of PVCs was over, they should not be allowed to suffer.<\/p>\n

The lawyer also said that it was the law of equity that what applied to the goose should also apply to the gander.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo what the court is saying is that these two people who have fulfilled all necessary requirements can vote with their TVCs, then by law of equity, it should also apply to all Nigerians who have fulfilled all necessary requirements and were issued TVCs by INEC.\u201d<\/p>\n

He maintained that this should be so because the content of the TVC was the same as the content of the PVC and the only difference was the plastic used for the PVC.<\/p>\n

The News Agency of Nigeria, (NAN) reports that the judgment, having been delivered, is biding on INEC and enforceable barring any appeal.<\/p>\n

NAN also reports that INEC had repeatedly held that only eligible voters with the PVCs would be allowed to vote in the 2023 presidential, governorship and parliamentary elections.<\/p>\n

However, the plaintiffs, Kofoworola Olusegun and Wilson Allwell in the suit filed on Feb. 8 and marked FHC\/ABJ\/CS\/180\/2023, challenged the position of INEC and asked the court to determine \u201cWhether by the true construction and interpretation of section 10(2), 12(1) and 47 of the Electoral Act 2022; Section 77(2) and 132(5) of the 1999 constitution (as amended), and bearing in mind that the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) machine introduced by INEC only needs the thumbprint and\/or facial recognition to accredit a voter;<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether a person whose name appears in the electronic format in INEC\u2019s central database and manual, printed paper based record or hard copy format of the register of voters and has been assigned a Voter\u2019s Identification Number (VIN), can be said to be entitled to be accredited to vote with his\/her TVC in the general election to be conducted by the defendant.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether such a person can, as a consequence of the defendant\u2019s inabilities, actions and omission be disenfranchised of the right and entitlement to vote in the 2023 general election.<\/p>\n

The plaintiffs asked the court to grant the following reliefs should the questions be answered in their favour.<\/p>\n

\u201cA declaration that the plaintiff, having fulfilled all necessary legal requirements to register and having consequently been captured in it\u2019s central database and manual, printed paper based record or hard copy format of INEC\u2019s maintained register of voters, the plaintiff are entitled to vote using their TVC<\/a> in the 2023 General Elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn order compelling INEC to allow the plaintiff to vote using the TVC issued by INEC<\/a>, the plaintiff having been duly captured in the national register of voter\u2019s database.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny other order, the court may deem fit for all other Nigerians who are like the plaintiffs and have not gotten their permanent voter\u2019s card, as the court may deem fit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
