Mr Festus Okoye, National Commissioner, and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, who made the disclosure in a statement on Monday in Abuja, said this will take immediate effect.
Okoye said the commission also suspended its regular quarterly meetings with stakeholders and monitoring of conventions, congresses, conferences or meetings of political parties until further notice.
