The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in Ogun state, has received additional 170,000 Permanent Voter Cards from its headquarters in Abuja. The State Administrative Secretary of the commission, Mr. Dickson Atiba, disclosed this on Tuesday while briefing journalists at the INEC office in Abeokuta. He said the commission received between 170,000 and 190,000 PVCs, and noted that remaining ones would be brought before Friday this week. He said, “The PVCs just arrived from Abuja. We have them in cartons, we have like 74 cartons that have just come.

“We have 15 cartons for Ifo Local government, 12 cartons for Ijebu-ode Local government, 14 cartons for Ado-Odo/ Ota Local government, 19 cartons for Sagamu Local government, four cartons for Odogbolu Local government, 1 carton for Obafemi Owode Local government, 1 carton for Abeokuta South Local government, 1 carton for Abeokuta North, 1 carton for Ijebu East and then we have some pieces which are in about five small cartons. “We can not tell the exact number that are in a carton, unless we count them. But in rough estimation, all should be less than 200,000. It is above 150,000 and less than 200,000. It is between 170,000 and 190,000.”
