The Presidential Campaign Council of the Labour Party has expressed worry over the low distribution of Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) across the country.
The Spokesman of the campaign team Dr Yunusa Tanko who made this known in Enugu during a press briefing on Wednesday urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to extend the collection point of PVCs to polling units for easy access.
Tanko who also announced the party’s Presidential rally scheduled to hold tomorrow at Okpara Square Enugu, urged INEC to use all the power at their disposal to ensure Nigerians get their PVCs before the election.
“I am disappointed with the level of issuance of voter card across the country. The turnout is much but the process of collecting it is quite difficult. The number of uncollected cards remains the same because the process is very difficult.
“The queue is very much in every collection centre but few people were able to collect it at the end of the day. They are frustrating the people.
“INEC should use any legal power to shift the closing date for collection or any other means to make sure they didn’t disfranchise people from voting,” he said.
Dr Tanko also expressed dissatisfaction over the upcoming new BBnaija reality show stressing that it was sponsored by politicians to distract the youths from participating in the election.
