MONDAY, 25th October, 2021: The Igbo for a Progressive Nigeria has decried the Independent National Electoral Commission's failure to give PVCs to prospective voters in the November 6 Anambra governorship election.
The group expressed worry over the non-release of the permanent voter cards to all those who participated in the last registration exercise, and went further to describe it as a dangerous signal.
The national secretary of IPAN, Micheal Chibuzo, stated that INEC needed to urgently distribute the PVCs to prospective voters.
He said, “I call on us all to be committed to a peaceful electoral participation by all – the elderly, young, and special persons, the future is ours to make."
He also called on eligible voters for the November 6 governorship election in Anambra to be vigilant to perform their civic responsibility by voting right.
Speaking further, IPAN advised the Anambra electorate to assess the governorship candidates based on their pedigree, either in private or public life, to determine who can manage the tiny resources of the state better.
Lawrence Onuzulike, IPAN national president, made the charge at a press conference on Sunday in Awka.
