Over five million Nigerians out of the 93m who registered to vote have yet to claim their Permanent Voter Cards barely four months to the 2023 election.
Findings by The PUNCH across 19 states indicate that Lagos, Ogun, Delta, Ekiti and Enugu states are leading the states with huge numbers of unclaimed PVCs despite the enlightenment campaigns carried out by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
Understandably, the All Progressives Congress, Labour Party, Peoples Democratic Party, Labour Party and others are worried the forthcoming election may be marred by voter apathy.The INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu had disclosed during a meeting with political parties in Abuja last week that over 2.7m new registrations between June 28, 2021 and July 31, 2022, were invalid.
