The Independent National Electoral Commission has denied claims by the All Progressives Congress that its Osun State members are being prevented from collecting their Permanent Voter Cards.
The APC had on Monday accused the INEC of denying its members their PVCs, describing it as “a deliberate attempt to disenfranchise them” in the forthcoming governorship election in the state.
However, responding to the allegation, the Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Kayode Idowu, told our correspondent that the party’s statement was not true.
“I do not understand what they mean. How does INEC distinguish members of one party from another?” Idowu asked.
He added, “As we have repeatedly said, distribution of PVCs has been ongoing in Osun State since March. People yet to collect their PVCs should go to their respective local government offices of the commission to do so.”
