Resident Electoral Commissioner in Cross River State, Dr. Okey Ezeani, on Wednesday disclosed that some Permanent Voter Cards meant for registered voters in the state were wrongly transported to Kebbi State.

He disclosed this in Calabar when he paid courtesy visit on Governor Liyel Imoke to brief him on the level of preparedness of the Independent National Electoral Commission for the March 28 and April 11 rescheduled polls.

Ezeani said some PVCs belonging to the electorate in the state were recently found in a consignment sent to Kebbi State.

“My colleague in Kebbi called me and said that they found some boxes of PVCs belonging to Cross River State in Kebbi and there are similar cases regarding some states as well. These are some of the issues plaguing INEC,” he said.

He also disclosed that the commission in the state had yet to take delivery of PVCs for some polling units in Yakurr, Calabar South, Calabar Municipality and Bakassi local government areas.

The REC, therefore lauded the rescheduling of the elections, saying “the postponement of the elections is a plus because it will afford us ample time to fix some of the things we were not able to get right.”

On the percentage of PVCs distributed so far in the state, the REC said, “When I came to Cross River State, the percentage of collection was running between 60 and 73 percent and after meeting with my staff, we set out a target and today we have attained 82 percent distribution in the state.”

Ezeani used the opportunity of the visit to demonstrate to Imoke and members of the Cross River State Executive Council how the Card Reader works.

In his response, Imoke charged INEC to ensure 100 per cent distribution of PVCs in the state and the country as a whole before the elections so that no one was disenfranchised on the grounds of non-availability of PVCs.

Imoke said it was also obvious from the disclosures made by the REC that INEC was not ready for the earlier scheduled dates for the polls, adding that the postponement was a blessing for the electoral body and the country.

He said, “I thank you for the effort at improving on the number of PVCs collected in the state from 66 percent to 82 now, even though you must try and achieve 100 percent collection before the elections so as not to disenfranchise anybody.

“The constitution provides that every registered voter has the right to vote. It does not provide for the presentation of PVCs before exercising that right. So, we urge that you try as much as possible to achieve a 100 percent PVC distribution, otherwise, it will appear that INEC will be responsible for disenfranchising registered voters and this could have legal consequences and call to question the integrity of the process.”

But Jega won't send us the ones from Kebbi. We must use the military to check APC rigging structures are frustrated.

Can they accidentally transfer PVC FROM Sokoto to Anambra or Kano PVC to Ekiti?



Accident my foot...

This was why they were on nairaland shouting Change, so dey can return the country to the wasted decades of 70s, 80s and 90s.


They never reach Gov but want to rig a sitting Government out of power. APC is corruption personified.

no they dont control INEC, they both they both work 2geda.

The North Even With D Insurgency Collecting The Highest Pvc. State-by-state PVC collection statistics from INEC. The highest are Nasarawa (96%), Gombe (95%), Katsina (92%), Kaduna (91%), Zamfara (90%), while the lowest are Ogun (40%), FCT (61%), Lagos (62%), Edo (64.3%), Oyo (64.9%).


The north even with the insurgency has collected it pvc , but how did they collect it when we all know that many are dead many ran to cameroun and chad #what is jega not answering or is he favouring the apc ?


The east and west has the lowest count even thou they are not having any crisis there.


jega favouring buhari as per fellow northerner

Seun lalasticlala fp

PVC issues are present in both APC and PDP states, Ogun State, an APC state has one of the lowest PVC collection rate. If Cross River State PVCs were found in Kebbi State, they should be immediately transferred back to Cross River State for distribution, there's no time for all these useless conspiracy theories of Jega trying to disenfranchise PDP strongholds.

What where they thinking?

Which kind accidental discharge be this
