ATIKU- INEC delivering unclaimed PVCs to APC

Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has claimed that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been releasing uncollected Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

On what voters should do to ensure the coming elections are not compromised, Atiku told Nigerian electorate to make sure they do not allow any voter they could not recognise vote in their polling booths.

He stated this in Osogbo, the Osun State capital on Tuesday while speaking at a presidential rally of the PDP staged at Nelson Mandela Freedom Park.

Earlier, Atiku had visited the Owa of Obokun of Ileshaland, Oba Gabriel Aromolaran and the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, in their palaces.

Accusing President Muhammadu Buhari of failure to keep all the promises he made before his election in 2015, Atiku told his audience:

“This government came and said they were going to give you jobs. Have they given you the jobs? They said they were going to grow the economy. Have they grown the economy? We are in recession. In fact, we are the headquarters of poverty in the whole world. That is where they took us to.

“They said they were going to secure our country, instead of securing our country, we have insecurity in three to four zones of the country. Have they delivered on all these three? Why should you then vote for them?

“Now, listen to this very carefully, we have information that INEC has been giving uncollected PVCs to the APC governors. So if a voter comes to your polling booths and you don’t know him, don’t allow him to vote because they want to steal your votes.

“I promised restructuring. In five to six months, I will start that and I mean it. I said I am going to give youths 40 per cent of my government and I mean it. I said I am going to give women 30 per cent of my government and I mean it. Mark my words, I am not Buhari.”
