Less than one week to the general election, Christians in Bauchi Local Government Area of Bauchi State, under the aegis of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) have raised the alarm that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is aiming to disenfranchise them by cleverly keeping away the Permanent Voters Card (PVCs) from its members.

Addressing a press conference in Jos, the CAN coordinator for Bauchi local government area, Mr Mako Gwamis, who was flanked by about 14 other Christians, said: “Christians in Bauchi LG are facing threat of being disenfranchised if no action is taken to avert the evil plan.”

He said, “Christian dominated areas in the LG like Bayara, Yelwan Tsakanin, Tsakanin Bayara, Gwallameji, Doka, Kagadama, Yelwan-Tudun, Turum, Miri, Yelwan-Makaranta, Rafin Zurfi, Gudum Sayawa, Gudum Hausa, ECWA-1, to mention but a few, having a population of about 10,000 people, who took their time to stand under the sun and registered for the polls, but not up to 2,000 of them have got their PVCs due to INEC deliberate act to make the cards unavailable to their polling units for distribution.”

Gwamis said voters in these areas are asked to travel INEC local government office at Kofar Ran, a distance of about 40 kilometres to obtain their cards. He added that those who could afford the transport fare and travelled the distance only got stranded at Kofar Ran as they did not get the INEC officials to attend to them.

He queried why the distribution of the PVCs in Christian dominated areas had to be taken to a different location from where they registered, adding that the Christians are suspecting sabotage.

Jega must have read this; he should address this now. if we hear this after the election, we shall ask him directly and harshly. if we are rigged out using PVC, well... he should count the cost.

JEGA should stop risking his political career in the name of playing juju election rigging

INEC has been compromised, this is a real case of bias, the real intent of APC will fail in jesus name.

The northern Christians are not part of the agenda, Yes, but when you hear "Northern agenda" I mean the hausa/Fulanis.

[size=13pt]The people being systematically disenfranchised in the north and east are GEJ supporters, while under-aged boys are given PVC in Kano![/size]

GEJ is civil to a fault. You don't need to have a military background to send the message that there is a Commander In Chief.

It is always his percieved supporters that are at the receiving end of the stick? If the cry is not from the south, it's from his perceived supporters from the North.

Simply ridiculous!
