The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has dismissed allegations that its officials are involved in selling Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) in Edo State ahead of the 21 September Governorship Election.
A civic group, Transparency for Electoral Systems Advocacy (TESA), in a petition dated 23 August 2024, claimed that uncollected PVCs were being sold to politicians in the state.
In response, Rotimi Oyekanmi, Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, characterized the allegations as unfounded and challenged TESA to provide tangible evidence to support their claims.
