The President and the PDP, are not happy with Jega over his insistence that the commission would use the Permanent Voter Cards for the election – Apart from this, the President and the party were also angry that the commission was going ahead with its decision to use card readers.
According to Punch:
The commission has said that the card reader can only read PVC issued by it and that any person that shows up at the polling unit without a PVC or with a card not issued by INEC will not be able to vote.
It was learnt that the Presidency and the ruling party were not totally against the use of the PVCs, but they were not happy with the use of card readers.
“Now, what we are saying is that yes, the PVCs were used in both Ekiti and Osun governorship elections but the way and manner the PVCs are being distributed now is suspicious.What do you think???
“Look at the figure of those who have collected from the northern part of the country and look at the figure from the southern part, where President Jonathan hails from.
“If the election is going to be by ethnic sentiment alone, you will know that our President has been defeated already. So, that’s the reason.
“Look at Ogun and Lagos states, which we all know are politically sophisticated. Why are the electorates not picking their PVCs? We are worried.”
