LEADERSHIP - Imo Resident Electoral Commissioner , Prof . Francis Ezeonu has disclosed that the commission still has 500 , 525 unclaimed Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs ) from Imo State in its custody .
According to him, out of over 380 , 000 cards of 2011 and 2014 registrants released in April 2017 about 343 , 742 cards are yet to be claimed .

He also said that of the 72 , 237 cards received in respect of all those who registered in 2017, about 49 , 252 were yet to be collected.
Ezeonu made this known in Owerri at the flag off of a road show embarked by the commission in the state and a media briefing to announce the display of voters register .
He said , “ recently , we received 110 , 627 PVCs for people who registered in the first quarter of 2018 , only a paltry 3 , 096 have so far been collected in the last three weeks , leaving us a balance of 107 , 531 uncollected.

“ All together , a total of 500 , 525 PVCs are yet to be collected in Imo State as at Oct.29 . This is worrisome as no person will be allowed to vote with a temporary voter ’ s card, ” he said.

The REC advised all registered voters , who have not collected their PVCs , to take advantage of INEC deployment to Residential Areas (RAs), go to where they registered with their temporary voters card (TVC ) to collect their PVCs .
“ The commission will ensure that the process of collection is simplified with minimum inconvenience to the citizens of the state .

Professor Ezeonu noted that INEC has being following the activities heralding the 2019 general elections which included the conduct of primaries by political parties, submission of lists of candidates for presidential and national assembly elections and the publication of particulars of candidates for public consumption .
He said that in accordance with Section 19 and Section 20 of the Electoral Act 2010 (amended ), the commission has approved the display of National Register of voters at all polling units in the country between Nov .6 and Nov. 12 .

The REC said the display was to address the removal of ineligible voters which include deceased registered voters, non-Nigerians , registrants with still pictures , under - aged voters and multiple registrations.

He said that submission of claims and objections as well as collection of PVCs at RAs would start by 9 a .m to 4 p .m each day and would last for only seven days (weekends inclusive) adding that hearing of claims and objections should be at the RA within same period .
According to him, PVCs for all those who registered in 2011 , 2014 , 2017 and first quarter of 2018 (January - March ) are available for collection .

He enjoined the media to assist in bringing the programmes of the commission to the front burner of public discourse and help popularize the national voters register to sensitise the citizens on the need to collect their PVCs .

Ezeonu said the Imo INEC was embarking on a road show as part of the voter education and sensitization campaign to alert citizens about the forthcoming display of PVCs at RAs for easy access and collection .

“ The 2019 Election Project Plan is on course. The cardinal objective of the 2019 election project plan is to conduct credible and peaceful election with an acceptable outcome that will inspire the confidence of Nigerians and all stakeholders .
“ INEC is committed to free , fair and credible election, ” he said .

Is Atiku from IMO?
The battle is in the North.
Share with GMB in the North and sauce it with SE/SS 97%

You see the reality, The East do not vote if we do a comparative analysis of PDP strongholds(south-south, and South East) with APC stronghold of Northwest and Southwest. The APC stronghold has more voters than PDP strongholds.

Artikunation people. How will he win. Buhari people have collected theirs since. My people. What are we doing?

Dont FORGET most people(excluding Zombies) voted him because they thought he was BETTER until.......

that is igbo for you... they will run their mouth... but when the time to vote comes, you won't see them.... Atiku should be careful of them

They are here on Nairaland shouting and cursing Buhari from their father's house. Go collect PVC, Go collect PVC dey no gree

winnings are great , we doing it again today, call or whatsapp to confirm.

Sorry to be blunt here, but this is what pisses me off with some people from the east on the issue of the next elections. You know how important it is for everyone to boot out the idiot of a president but they wont go and take what is needed to boot buhari out.

Rather you see them making noise online whereas in reality they cant do anything..

Thats how one was yarning dust that Atiku will win and i asked her if she has her pvc to ensure atiku's victory..Immediately she ran away because she doesnt have.

Another idiot opened a thread to be asking foolish question of how he can register and collect pvc knowing fully well that the period of pvc registration is over.

When it comes to twitter polls, you will see them wella but real live poll, they are no where to be found.

The state government should declare public holiday across the state and lock up all the markets and shops. With this I guarantee you they will force to go and collect votes cards.

How can one Atikulate without PVC?

Hmmm, looks like the dullard, King Bubu son of Hari, will get another easy ride to the rocky castle.

the truth is that 70% of them have left the country 20% have moved to other states and have reragistered there and 10% are dead

Many of them are serving jail term in other countries for drug, human trafficking etc
