In an attempt to distribute the permanent voters
cards, PVCs, to let eligible voters yet to collect theirs
do so without hassles, the Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC, in Enugu State, has
decided to move to various churches in order to
locate owners of the cards yet to be collected.
During the INEC stakeholders meeting in Enugu,
yesterday, the Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC,
Professor Chukwuemeka Onukaogu, gave account of
the level of preparedness before Saturday's election.
He said: "We have so far distributed 1,238,707, thus
achieving 89 percent. We have 2,958 polling units and
3,361 voting points we are fully set.
"We have received non-sensitive materials, while the
sensitive materials have arrived but housed in the
Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN.
"Therefore, by Wednesday (yesterday) at 10 am we
shall all go to CBN in company of security agents and
party agents to take delivery and subsequent
sharing."
On apprehension raised at the meeting over the use
of card readers, he personally demonstrated how it
works and the voting procedure. He, however,
warned that
"anybody coming with a cloned card will
be arrested immediately it is ascertained that it is a
clone card."
