 The Independent Electric Commission, INEC, has said the recent attacks on these offices and personnel would not affect the smooth conduct of the general elections come 2023. INEC chairman Professor Mahmoud Yacoubou, who gave the assurance during his inspection at the affected office in a bucoteau when state capital said all material loss would be recovered to ensure residents' exercise their franchise. As soon as we get the VIN numbers to be harvested by the state office, we'll reprint. It doesn't take longer than two days to print 65,000 PVCs, but we have to get the voter identification numbers for the cards that were lost so that we can quickly reprint. It doesn't take longer than two days to reprint that number of PVCs. Well, it's very disappointing, particularly because in the last four months, five of our offices were attacked nationwide in the last four months, but this will never deter us. We'll make sure that we replace, ban or destroy the equipment, and reprint the PVCs and conduct elections. Quotasouth, that this incident, terrible as it is, will not deter us and will not discourage us. We'll not discourage our staff from conducting the 2023 general election. As the political parties, the civil society organizations, the security agencies who are here in their numbers, and even people like you in the media, your all-stake holders, is remain confident that elections will hold in spite of this very temporary setback.
