Barely 49 days to the 2023 general elections, a group of
Civil Society Organisations on Friday, expressed concerns over the reports of
missing Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs and the challenge of locating them.
The CSOs worried President Muhammadu Buhari must be prepared
to conduct a free and fair election.
The organisations expressed their views during a press
conference by the Focal Person of the Coalition of Nigerian Youth Groups,
Maximilian Tashilani; the Convener of Coalition of Civil Society For Good
Governance, Okpanachi Jacob; and chairman of Arewa Transformational Leaders,
Yusuf Ibrahim.
They also raised concerns over the voter education carried
out by the Independent National Electoral Commission, which, they said, needed
to be improved.
The CSOs also warned the judiciary against the reckless
granting of court orders, injunctions and judgments.
Tashilani said, “From all indications, President Muhammadu
Buhari is not only desirous of bequeathing the legacy of a free and fair
election, he is also poised to ensure that all institutions responsible for
delivering credible elections are genuinely independent.
“The difficulties voters undergo to collect their PVCs are
unbearable. Aside from the challenges of locating one PVC, there are also
reports of missing PVCs,” he said.
