Agbor Community in Ika South Local Government Area, Delta State, has welcomed the apology tendered by the Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, over the initial failure of the commission to produce and distribute the Permanent Voter’s Cards, PVCs, in the area.
The community in a statement Tuesday, enjoined members of the community to vote wisely given the challenges the community went through to ensure that they were not disenfranchised.
The statement by the President-General of the Agbor Community Organisation, Gen. Nick Agbogun (rtd) also endorsed Senator Ifeanyi Okowa in the state’s governorship election.
“Agbor Community Organisation expresses satisfaction with the unreserved apology, in a letter and in some national newspapers, to the people of Ika South council, by Professor Attahiru Jega, Chairman of INEC, for the bungling of the production and distribution of the area’s PVCs.”
“The organisation commends INEC for acknowledging its faults and rectifying same, thereby vindicating the peoples’ claim to counter that vexatious disenfranchisement.”
“Given this development the electorate in Ika South LGA is urged to make judicious use of the PVCs after the hard-won franchise, by turning out en mass to vote in the general elections of 28th March, and 11th April, 2015.”
