The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) might decide to postpone the governorship and state assembly elections, which is scheduled for Saturday, March 11.
TheCable reports that INEC is expected to take a decision on the issue at a meeting of its national commissioner on Wednesday night.
Since the conclusion of the presidential and national assembly polls, the electoral body has been in court over the application seeking to extract data embedded in the bimodal voter accreditation system (BVAS) and inspect other election materials.
Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), and Atiku Abubakar, standard bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had filed similar applications on the matter before the court of appeal.
They equally applied to obtain the certified true copy (CTC) of all the data in the BVAS.
However, the electoral body insisted that granting the request would affect its preparations for the forthcoming elections.
Tanimu Inuwa, counsel to the INEC, asked the court to vary the orders which gave permission to Obi and Atiku to inspect all the sensitive materials used in the conduct of the presidential election.
