Voter cards collection: Complaints trail exercise in Kwara

Date: 2014-08-17

The distribution of Permanent Voter Cards by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) entered its second day yesterday across the country, as voters expressed frustrations at the lateness of materials, non-distribution of PVCs as well as shortage, among others.

In Ilorin, Sunday Tribune gathered that the complaints ranged from absence of INEC ad-hoc officials at many wards to allegations of voters' disenfranchisement and inadequate security provision for the exercise.

Speaking with the Sunday Tribune in Ilorin on Saturday, the secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Prince Yemi Afolayan, said the Conference of Nigeria's Political Parties (CNPP) in Kwara, except the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had complaints on the exercise.

"For instance, many polling units where about 500 people had registered, only 200 names were on the voters' register now. Where about 600 had registered, only 300 names could be seen on the register. So, we implore INEC to ensure that our people are not disenfranchised. PDP is not complaining, may be because of conspiracy involved", he said.

Also speaking, the publicity secretary of the opposition PDP, Chief Rex Kolawole, said no INEC officials were seen in such places like Oju Ekun Sarumi, IGS area, Oko Erin ward, Karatu, Alanamu among others.
