The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, says the deadline for the collection of permanent voters cards, PVC will not exceed the 22nd of January 2023.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, in Osun State, Doctor Mutiu Agboke stated this in Ilesa while speaking with Radio Nigeria.
Doctor Agboke said the commission was worried over the slow pace of the collection of PVC, noting that over four hundred thousand PVCs were yet to be collected in the state.
Speaking on the rumour making the round that the election was likely to be rigged, Doctor Agboke gave the assurance that the bimodal voter’s accreditation system, BIVAS was a game changer for next year’s general elections, stressing that no one would be able to vote without BIVAS.
Doctor Agboke also advised Nigerians not to allow anyone to induce them with money or materials to vote, saying whoever was caught would be prosecuted and on conviction would be sentenced to two years imprisonment or pay a fine of five hundred thousand or both.
