Add BBN on 2BAFB965
BlackBox Nigeria has exclusively uncovered that the Governor of Lagos State, Barrister Babatunde Fashola and many others might not get their Permanent Voters Card as the distribution commences across the state Friday.
News went viral recently about a reduction in the number of registered voters in Nigeria's commercial capital of Lagos which has made many cry blue murder which prompted BlackBox Nigeria to emerge on this investigative findings.
Only yesterday, Governor Babatunde Fashola lamented the large difference in the wide margin in the number of those who allegedly registered in 2011 which INEC had pegged at 6,247,845 (Six Million, Two Hundred and Forty Seven Thousand, Eight Hundred and Forty Five) to 4,800,000 (Four Million, Eight Hundred Thousand).
This has continued to arouse suspicious and accusations on the electoral body over what Fashola described as a possible "plan to disenfranchise Lagosians from exercising their rights to choose their own representatives."
BlackBox Nigeria has now uncovered that what truly happened was the deletion of multiple registers in Lagos.
BBN sources in INEC authoritatively confirmed that the electoral umpire has engaged its staff to clean up its database ahead of PVC distribution scheduled for Friday 7th of November to November 9th.
BlackBox Nigeria sources confirmed that already over two million double registration cases has been deleted.
BBN was further informed that due to logistical issues, the Permanent Voters Cards would only be distributed in 11 local governments. These are Ikorodu, Kosofe, Lagos Island, Lagos Mainland, Mushin, Ojo, Ajeromi Ifelodun, Ibeju-Lekki, Agege, Ikeja and Ifako-Ijaiye Local Governments.
28th of November has however been fixed for the remaining LGAs which means that it is expected that the distribution of the PVC in the affected areas would come up before the end of the month.
The Lagos Governor had questioned INEC over the missing PVCs but BBN has been informed that many electorates in the state engaged in multiple registration which amounted to dual and sometimes multiple PVCs for some voters.
It was further discovered that for some Local government, no PVC was printed at all in several wards, an issue which can be faulted on the electoral body. The affected Local Government here include Badagry, Mushin, Alimosho, Ojo and some others who have peculiar issues.
In the case of Ojo Local Government, it was discovered that no single PVC was printed in many wards in the LGA. These include Ojo town, Okoko-Iba Axis etc.
Our source further revealed that like the state Governor, many electorates would have to wait until the commencement of the Continuous Voters Registration(CVR) before they would be eligible to get their PVC.
Of the 20 Local Government recognized by INEC in Lagos, only three has a clear state where no issues were recorded this include Lagos Island, Shomolu and Apapa Local Government even though Shomolu wouldn't be getting their PVC just yet.
With this revelation, the matter might have been settled but one expects INEC to come out to officially explain to the general public.
