INEC :Nigerians share their experience PVC registration/ collection

As the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) finally closed registration of voters yesterday ahead of 2019 elections, Nigerians have been reliving their experiences during the exercise.

While some commended INEC for the manner the exercise was carried out, others condemned the Commission’s officials for poor handling, alleging that they were more interested in exploiting Nigerians than making the exercise hitch-free.



Many also complained of their inability to get their Permanent Voter Cards, despite having registered since, but ironically, INEC has been appealing to registered Nigerians to come and pick their PVCs. The figure of uncollected PVCs across the country, according to INEC, is overwhelming. This has left many wondering if the owners of these uncollected PVCs are truly Nigerians or not. Some have asked what would happen to the uncollected PVCs if their owners fail to collect them. This is one question INEC has not provided answer to, even as opposition has even accused the electoral umpire of planning to hand it over to the ruling APC to rig the 2019 elections. How this is, nobody knows, but it’s been a mixed bag of experiences for majority of Nigerians trying to register or collect their PVCs.
