Politicians Buying PVCs Wasting Their Money, Time – INEC Assures

INEC National Commissioner in charge of Voter Education and Publicity, Festus Okoye said this at a training for journalists organised by the Nigeria Union of Journalists in collaboration with the INEC in Ibadan, Oyo State on Wednesday.

Okoye who was represented by the Deputy Director in charge of the gender department, Ndidi Okafor while addressing the gathering said the only reason why many people will not vote during the elections is identity theft.

Speaking at the training centred on conflict-sensitive reporting and the 2023 general election, Okoye insisted that anyone buying PVCs is embarking on an exercise in futility.
