Huge Turnout At PVC Collection Centres Nationwide

comments
by AIT / 1 week ago / Politics 
Most Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC,  Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs, collection points across the states of Nigeria witnessed a huge turnout of people on Friday to beat the initial INEC deadline.

In some states, the tales of inability to collect and missing cards were still rampant.

In Umuahia, the Abia State capital, some of the prospective voters arrived the collection centre as 6.30am.

They attributed the last minute rush to the difficulties they faced on previous occasions when they checked. 

But in Awka, the Anambra State capital, the electorate, who trooped out in their numbers to collect their PVCs accused INEC officials of demanding money from them before they could collect their PVCs, an allegation denied by the electoral officer in charge of Awka South, Okike Chijoke.

In Owerri the Imo State capital, residents also trooped out in their numbers at the Owerri municipal council headquarters but experienced difficulties in collecting their PVCs.

As early as 6:00 am, potential voters were already on the queues for the collection of their PVCs.

In Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, it was the same story of frustration. After several hours of waiting, the electorate, who were predominantly students, entrepreneurs and artisans said they left all behind to meet the deadline.

In Delta State, it was a mixed bag that greeted the exercise. Among the huge crowd, many insisted that INEC must not disenfranchise voters.

In Kano, residents turned out in large numbers at various local government units for the collection of their PVCs but with the announcement of an extension of the deadline, many prospective voters stormed out of the centres.

In Bauchi, the exercise was not different as residents also experienced difficulties in the process.
