Resident Electoral Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission in Kogi, Prof. James Apam, said that 170,664 Permanent Voters Cards have yet to be collected by their owners.
Apam, who disclosed this in Lokoja on Friday during a stakeholder meeting, said there was urgent need to get the cards across to their owners before the November 16 governorship election in the state.
He said that mobile teams would be engaged to go from place to place on designated days to ensure that the electorate were not disenfranchised as a result of the non-collection of the cards. He also said that non-sensitive materials for the Nov. 16, election had been received and would soon be distributed to Local Government Areas.This according to him, is to address issues of shortages that necessitated postponement of the last general election.
“Ad-hoc staff are now to get appointment letters, this time, with their account numbers supplied. We shall pay them through their banks to avoid issues of non payment,” he said.
