We are worried that some people might be disenfranchised,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>On his part, Samson Itodo, executive director of YIAGA Africa, said it is \u201cunacceptable\u201d for INEC to be distributing PVCs 24 hours to the election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll I can say is that it is unacceptable that 24 hours to the elections, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/07\/02\/60-000-pvcs-unclaimed-in-gombe-state-%e2%80%95-inec\/\">PVCs<\/a> are being distributed. Secondly, this is a drawback and it is a recession with respect to election logistics,\u201d Itodo said.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the concerns raised, Festus Okoye, INEC spokesperson, said it is necessary to situate the commission\u2019s arrangements within the context of the security challenges in the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it is important to situate this election within the context of what is going on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all know in this country that this is not a normal election. This is a very unusual election being conducted at a very difficult period.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that the whole country recognises this fact. The people of Anambra recognise this particular fact and this is why you have an unusual number of security personnel deployed for this particular election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf this election was a normal election, some of these issues won\u2019t even arise. When we started the continuous voter registration exercise, we could not deploy to the registration areas the way we normally deploy on account of security challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we are talking about the challenges of distribution and so on, we must also realise the context and complex nature we are dealing with. You also realise that there is a shortened working period in Anambra on the account of insecurity challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe important thing is that we took these PVCs to the various local governments. All the people that turned up to collect their PVCs collected. All the uncollected PVCs have already been quarantined and nobody can use those PVCs in any election. They can\u2019t be compromised and nobody can use any PVC that does not belong to him or her during this election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked to give the figure of those who recently collected PVCs, Okoye said the commission cannot \u201charvest\u201d the figure at the moment because the distribution was done at the same time sensitive materials were being deployed for the election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has revealed why permanent voter cards (PVCs) were still being distributed hours before the Anambra governorship election.
