Let us not create a situation where enemies of this country will take advantage, the elections must be conducted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my own little way of suggesting and helping INEC and of course the Federal Government, if there are specific areas where insecurity is intense and there are problems, they should work towards shifting the elections not postponing the elections and when the other places are completed, they can go back and complete it and announce results.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI understand the leg of collecting Permanent Voters Card, PVCs at the ward level is terminating on Sunday and then the other ones at the Local Government. I want to appeal if it is possible, because this one is not about politics, it is not about partisanship, it is not about political parties, it is about everybody, but looking at what the result is for today, I want to appeal if that can be extended for one week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf it is possible, the Benue State Government will appreciate it so that everybody will have the right to collect his or her PVC. If it can be extended, that will be fine, but if not, we can still manage with the directive of INEC,\u201d Ortom stated.<\/p>\n<p>While congratulating the REC on his appointment and posting to the State, the Governor said \u201call that we seek and desire from you is to ensure the rules of your engagement, ensure fair play, ensure equity, ensure justice, ensure fairness for all. Don\u2019t do anything to sympathize or to favour me or any other political party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn behalf of the Government and people of Benue State and our party, the PDP, I want to welcome you and to wish you the very best and to assure you that for us, we are not going to do anything that will create challenges for you but to cooperate, for we know that power belongs to God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Governor used the opportunity to appeal to Benue people and all the political parties to eschew violence stressing that \u201cviolence will not make anyone win any election. Let us be peaceful, INEC which is the umpire body has given us the guidelines, let us keep to it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his remarks, the INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, Prof. Egwu stated that although the collection of PVC at the ward level would end on Sunday, the process would continue at the Local Government level till a few days to the elections.<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Egwu however told Governor Ortom that his request for the extension would be forwarded to the Chairman of the Commission, pointing out that it was in the best interest of the Commission to give out all the PVCs.<br \/>\nHe commended the Governor for ensuring a level playing field for all political parties in the state, noting that he had not heard any single incident of the opposition being denied the opportunity to reach out to their supporters in the state.<\/p>\n<p>The REC told the Governor that the Commission was working assiduously to ensure that people who were displaced and living in Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, camps across the state with their PVCs were allowed to participate in the elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to consider extending the deadline for the collection of the Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs, to enable all those who registered to obtain their cards to vote during the polls.
