The All Progressives Congress in Niger State on Sunday revealed that no fewer than one million names of voters registered were missing from the lists of those to get the Permanent Voter Card in Niger State.
APC, in a statement by its spokesman in the state, Jonathan Vatsa, said it discovered that the particulars of voters in seven wards of Shiroro, Gbako and other Local Government Areas were missing and might not get their PVC.
It said,”The truth is that the areas excluded from the PVC collection have always been the stronghold of APC in previous elections in the State.
“The inference now falls in perspective on why, in the last Niger East by-election, some of our supporters could not cast their votes because their names were missing from the voter’s register.
“What worries us in the APC is that INEC said there should be Continuous Voters Registration . The pertinent question is what becomes of those who have earlier registered but their names could not be traced on the INEC register? As such, many of our supporters may be disenfranchised before 2015 general elections thereby giving way for rigging and all other manipulations of elections in Niger State are notorious for.
“We are not sure of the neutrality of the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr Emmanuel Onucheyo, who has subjected himself to the whims and caprices of the government in power.”
That has justified our previous calls that if a free and fair election is to be conducted in Niger State, the Resident Electoral Commissioner in Niger State must be removed or redeployed to where his material cravings will be tolerated.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
