Cross River PVCs Taken To Kebbi State – INEC – Resident Electoral Commissioner in Cross River State, Dr. Okey Ezeani, on Wednesday disclosed that some Permanent Voter Cards meant for registered voters in the state were wrongly transported to Kebbi State.
He disclosed this in Calabar when he paid courtesy visit on Governor Liyel Imoke to brief him on the level of preparedness of the Independent National Electoral Commission for the March 28 and April 11 rescheduled polls.
Ezeani said some PVCs belonging to the electorate in the state were recently found in a consignment sent to Kebbi State.
“My colleague in Kebbi called me and said that they found some boxes of PVCs belonging to Cross River State in Kebbi and there are similar cases regarding some states as well. These are some of the issues plaguing INEC,” he said.
He also disclosed that the commission in the state had yet to take delivery of PVCs for some polling units in Yakurr, Calabar South, Calabar Municipality and Bakassi local government areas.
The REC, therefore lauded the rescheduling of the elections, saying “the postponement of the elections is a plus because it will afford us ample time to fix some of the things we were not able to get right.”
