The All Progressives Congress has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission of deceiving voters in Ekiti State before the June 21 governorship which it lost to the Peoples Democratic Party.

The party, however, added that INEC had the opportunity of correcting its mistakes in the August 9 election in Osun State and urged the commission to ensure a credible election.

The party, in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, on Sunday, also raised the alarm over the delay by INEC in distributing the permanent voters’ cards to registered voters in the state, warning that it might be a ploy to disenfranchise voters.

The APC said, “A few days before the Ekiti governorship election on June 19, INEC Chairman, Attahiru Jega, had told stakeholders that the commission would use colour-code ballot papers to ensure that ballots meant for one local government are not taken to another.

“However, not only did INEC not use colour-coded ballot papers in the Ekiti election, it never felt the need to explain its sudden volte-face. This is a blow to the integrity of INEC and we hope it won’t be repeated.”

It added, “INEC has been painfully slow in processing the permanent voters cards, and one can only hope that the electoral body is not doing this deliberately to disenfranchise voters, especially in opposition strongholds

"If INEC has no diabolical plan, then it should speed up the processing of the permanent voters cards. We say this based on the reported announcement by the Resident Electoral Commissioner in Osun State that whoever does not possess a permanent voters card will not be allowed to vote in the election.”
