INEC Distributes 993, 459 PVCs In Osun

Nigerian-votercardThe headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the Staten of Osun has said it has distributed 993,459 (70.65 per cent)  out of 1,406,147 permanent voters cards in the state.
The State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr Adekunle Ogunmola, who was just deployed to the state, spoke on Friday at his maiden press briefing, saying, 412,688 (29.35 per cent) of the cards were yet to be distributed.
He added that the distribution of the PVC would stop at the end of January, noting that the commission has extended the distribution of the cards to ward level to ensure that more people get it.
Ogunmola also stressed that Saturdays have now been included in the days for the distribution of PVCs, while the closing times have been extended.
The INEC boss also said the state office of the commission has so far received 2,133 Voter Card Readers, while the rest are yet to be deployed, saying, the commission would use the available ones to start training of officials that would work with them.
He said, 3,960 Plastic Ballot Boxes have so far been deployed to the state and were in the store of the commission.
Ogunmola added that the commission has started voters’ enlightment, while workshop would also be organised for all categories of people.
On allegation of bias against his predecessor, Ambassador Rufus Akeju, the REC described his predecessor as a man of integrity, but a victim of bad politics on the side of those castigating him.
Wondering why politicians would go extra mile to blame “such thorough bred diplomat” when they could not achieve their aims, he said, “it is unfortunate that the kind of politics we play in this country is quite dirty.
“He is a man of integrity, but he was misunderstood,” he said.
