86, 563 PVCs yet to be collected



The Resident Electoral Commissioner in Enugu State, Emeka Ononamadu, yesterday said 86, 563 Permanent Voters Cards were yet to be collected in the state. Briefing newsmen at the INEC Office in Enugu, he said the commission was developing strategies of PVCs distribution including “massive publicity and usage of community contact to link up with the real owners of the PVCs so that they could come forward to collect them.”

He said: “As at September 5, 2018 the PVC collection stood as follows: 2017 new PVCs: 54,813 collected out of 132,277 leaving us with a balance of 77, 464 uncollected PVCs. 2014/2015 old PVCs: 1, 400,161 has been collected out of 1, 412, 260 leaving us with 12, 099 uncollected PVCs. Therefore, the total of uncollected PVCs stands at 89,563 in Enugu state.
“We are thinking of going round ward by ward; we’ve not started now because we want to make delivery of the remaining printed PVCs so that when we move, we move once so that we don’t waste resources by going to a place and returning and going again.
“However, we are also mindful of the attendant security challenges because PVC now is a gold mine for politicians who want to win elections. So we’re making arrangement in such a way that we can have adequate security that will guard our personnel who will visit those wards with the PVC.”
