He also called for the provision of adequate security for the polls.
He advised Nigerian voters to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVC).

According to the director-general, in 2011 when election date was shifted, the change affected a lot of people.
“When the election was shifted in 2011, people burnt their cards because they felt voting won’t change anything.
“Do not be discouraged, and do not develop apathy for the elections,” he said. (NAN)
