12 days to the 2023 general elections in Nigeria, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said voting will not hold in 240 Polling Units (PUs).
Bellnewsonline.com reports that the INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu made this disclosure on Monday during a meeting with leaders of political parties.
Yakubu stated nobody chose to vote in these polling units.
