The INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, in Oyo State, Amb. Rufus Akeju, has warned that any voter who is caught with fake Permanent Voter Card, PVC, during the general elections will be prosecuted.
Akeju, who made this known while speaking with newsmen in Ibadan on Sunday, vowed that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, would not tolerate any form of rigging during the elections.
According to him, “Any voter who is thinking of voting with a fake PVC during the general elections should shelve the idea now because doing so would land them in jail.”
The REC, who said mechanisms had been put in place by the Commission to check rigging and ensure credible elections, said, “For example, it impossible for anybody to steal ballot papers in the name of rigging because there cannot be more than 750 ballot papers in any polling unit.”
INEC further announced that a total of 1,563,800 PVCs had been so far distributed by INEC in the state.
