Fashola Slams INEC Over PVC Distribution

Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, has once again condemned the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on its distribution of the Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC), which began across the country today, Friday, 7 November, 2014.
Fashola, in a state-wide broadcast in Lagos, western Nigeria, Friday morning, slammed the electoral body over the exclusion of nine local governments in the state.
According to the governor, the affected nine local government areas are Alimosho, Amuwo Odofin, Epe, Apapa, Badagry, Oshodi-Isolo, Surulere, Eti-Osa and Shomolu.
Fashola stated that INEC had announced that PVC distribution will only take place in Agege, Ajeromi-Ifelodun, Ifako-Ijaiye, Ikeja, Mushin, Lagos Island, Lagos Mainland, Ikorodu, Ibeju-Lekki, Kosofe and Ojo.

The governor said by omission or commission, INEC had decided to make the exercise a painful experience for Lagos residents by announcing that it would only issue Permanent Voters Cards in 11 local governments.

He said INEC had now fixed between 28 and 30 November to distribute PVCs in the remaining nine local governments.
Fashola added that he could only imagine the level of disappointment that Lagosians must have felt, having waited anxiously for this exercise and in spite of the fact that the state government had declared a work free day.
