The Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
has said that over 200,000 Permanent Voters Cards (PVC) is now ready for
collection across the country, reports ITRealms.
The National Commissioner in-charge of the Information and Voter
Education Committee (IVEC) at INEC, Prince Soyebi Adedeji Solomon made this
revelation during a session on Focus Nigeria, a programme of African
Independent Television (AIT) monitored in Lagos.
According to him, the completed Permanent Voters Cards are
being dispatched to various state headquarters and would be ready for
collection by next week.
He insisted that INEC does not distribute voter’s cards to
individuals, and advised eligible Nigerians to visit the nearest centre or
local government headquarters to collect their permanent voters card.
This, he said, is an ongoing exercise across the country,
adding that those who have relocated from where they were when the registration
took place, should update their records with INEC office so as to enable them
get viable PVC they can use at their current location.
Prince Soyebi further cautioned that double registration is
an office before the law and advised people to desist from such act.
