Prof. Pat Utomi, the convener of Peter Obi-Baba-Ahmed Datti’s Big Tent Coalition of Political Parties, Social Movements, and Civil Society, has reacted to the discovery of thousands of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) in a forest in Nnewi, Anambra State.
WITHIN NIGERIA recalls that two unidentified hunters found a bag of PVCs in a forest in Akamili, a Nnewi community, before Saturday’s general election.
The hunters who discovered the bags on Tuesday later informed a popular radio station, Authority FM, of the incident.
Utomi, in response to the development, urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to find a solution, suggesting that the electoral body repost people.
This was stated by Utomi during an interview with Arise TV on Thursday morning.
That, he believes, would be a wise decision for INEC.
He said;
But what solution do we have, It might be some optimal, we have to go on. But if they [INEC] are wise, they should repost people and share with margin.
If they are wise to give credibility to this process. Going forward, we don’t expect a perfect outcome, we are going to module through, but how is this module reassuring that we can keep Nigeria functional and a resort of progress for its people.
