He said in Lagos, on 38% have their PVCs, so if elections are held, 62% will not be able to vote.
About Boko Haram, he said there is no hiding place for the terrorist group.

Video: UK's first driverless pods are taking to the pavements
Learn to walk before you run - that seems to be the thinking
behind the new driverless car pod the UK's Transport Systems Catapult
has just unveiled.
The LUTZ Pathfinder, which can seat two people, won't actually drive on roads. Instead it will be taking to the pavements, proudly boasting the title of the first autonomous vehicle to work on footpaths.
This will also be the first time that driverless vehicles have been used in an urban community setting like this, certainly in this country.
