Giving Deadline For Collection Of Permanent Voters Card Is Disenfranchisement Of Nigerians – Civil Societies Warn INECThe coalition stated that denying the voters their right to vote due to a failure on the part of INEC was unacceptable.A coalition of non-governmental and human right organisations has described the emphasis on a deadline for collection of Permanent Voters Card as an indirect disenfranchisement of validly registered voters whose PVCs are not available.
According to the CSOs, reports from voters in different collection centres across the country revealed that some validly registered voters were informed by the INEC officials that their PVCs were not available; while some others were asked to return on a later day beyond the deadline or after the election to collect their PVCs.
The statement reads in part;"According to the Independent National Electoral Commission , collection of Permanent Voters’ Cards will end this Sunday, January 29, at 5pm. "The emphasis on a deadline for collection is an indirect disenfranchisement of validly registered voters whose PVCs are not available due to INEC’s administrative lapses. Denying these voters their right to vote due to a failure on the part of INEC is unacceptable.
"Reclaim Naija has received hundreds of calls and texts from its observers across the country about these challenges. With six episodes of Twitter Spaces and three Instagram Lives with different INEC officials; in addition to reports submitted through its www.rsvp.ng Complaints Portal, EiE Nigeria has supported over 10,000 voters through this PVC Collection process.
Everything is deadline in Nigeria. The spirit of task force is inborn in our government.
Why giving deadline for pvc collection.
One can comfortably sit and predict a repeat of this come 2027. INEC is deliberately inefficient. It's one of their many mechanism of robbing you. 🙂🙃
