The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has told ‘desperate politicians’ buying up Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) to manipulate the 2023 elections that they are engaging in a futile exercise.
INEC’s National Commissioner and Chairman of Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, who disclosed this on a Channels Television Political programme on Sunday night, said with 68 days to next years general elections, politicians and political parties who resort to buying the PVC are doing so in vain.
Okoye reminded the perpetrators that the Bimodal Voter Registration System (BVAS) will reject biometric data of persons who are not original owners of the traded PVCs.
