Dr Asmau Maikudi, the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Zamfara State, has called on stakeholders to sensitize electorate to turnout for the collection of their Permanent Voters Cards.
| Zamfara INEC urges stakeholders to sensitize electorate on PVC collection |
Maikudi made the call during an interview with journalists at her office in Gusau on Thursday.
She said it was disheartening the way
people abandoned their PVCs with the commission’s personnel at various
collection centers in the state.
She said the commission was still left with
119,354 cards uncollected by the owners, out of the over 1. 6 million
registered in the state.
Maikudi said more efforts were required interms of enlightenment to mobilize the electorate on card collection.
She said the ongoing PVC distribution would
continue in all collection centers until Jan. 22, at INEC local
government offices in the state.
The REC said collection of voters cards would finally end by Feb. 8, saying that cards collection by proxy are not allowed.
