APC Colluding With INEC To Withhold Our Members’ Voter Cards, PDP Says by Olamitisoji(op): 8:08pm On Jan 29, 2015

The national leadership of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) says it has
noted a deliberate attempt by the
Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) to disenfranchise
its members and supporters in Lagos
state by refusing to release their
Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) to
them.
PDP National Publicity Secretary,
Olisa Metuh, in a statement on
Thursday said the party has observed
that officials of INEC are working
hand in gloves with the All Progressive
Congress [APC] in the state to
frustrate the distribution of the
PVCs in PDP strongholds as well as to
non-indigenes in the state.
The PDP described the development as
“unacceptable, illegal and part of the
criminal plot by the APC to hold on to
power in the face of its dwindling
popularity among the people who are
now eager to vote enmasse for the
PDP and end APC’s dictatorial rule in
the state.
“While we restate our commitment to
peaceful and credible elections come
February 14th 2015, we will not accept
any attempt to scheme us out in any
state or states controlled by the
APC”, the PDP noted.
The PDP said the APC has been jittery
over the increasing popularity of
President Goodluck Jonathan and the
PDP governorship candidate in the
state, Olujimi Agbaje, and now seeks
to compromise the electoral process
by manipulating the distribution of
the PVCs.
Stating that INEC has refused to
check the trend despite repeated
concerns raised by its state chapter
and other well meaning Nigerians, the
PDP said the onus now lies on the
Chairman of INEC, Prof. Attahiru
Jega and the leadership of the
commission to prove their innocence
by immediately intervening and
ensuring that all eligible voters in the
state received their PVCs accordingly.
The PDP also demanded that INEC
thoroughly investigate the matter
and ensure that all those involved are
sanctioned in order to restore
confidence in the electoral process in
the state.

That's true
.
.
For instance in Lagos any area dominated by south south/south eastern people where deliberately schemed out of the collection of PVC, they will tell you that they can't find your data on their system
.
.
We know their plans but will shall resist them by all means
