uhammad Abubakar, a 30-year-old resettled native of Bama, remains determined to elect competent leaders that can end the insurgency that has killed and displaced many people over the years, but he might not be able to make the change as he is yet to collect his voter card. He argued that more than 60 percent of the resettled Borno inhabitants who registered or renewed their cards are yet to collect them.
While Bornor IDPs struggle to resettle, after spending over a decade in various official IDP Camps, at a time close to general elections, they have no idea where to get their PVCs and even where to vote, WikkiTimes’ Idris Kamal writes.
For the first time in over a decade, Borno insurgency victims will vote in their ancestral communities. In 2015 and 2019, Internally Displaced Persons exercised their franchise in government IDP camps in Maiduguri. While most of the resettled victims anticipate participating in this year’s general elections, uncertainty over the collection of Permanent Voter Cards dashed the hope of new registrants among the resettled IDPs in Borno communities. gathered that some of these resettled IDPs registered for PVCs while still in camps. INEC, however, did not produce the cards before their relocation, thereby putting them in confusion about where and how to get their PVCs for the elections.
Babagana Karami, Chairman of NYSC IDP Camp, is a native of Bama but found himself resettling at Auno in Konduga local government, thus impeding his voting chances in the community.
