OYO APA ACCUSES LG CHAIRMEN OF CONNIVING WITH INEC ELECTORAL OFFICERS TO DISTRIBUTE PVC



 The African Peoples Alliance (APA) , Oyo State Chapter has accused Oyo INEC Local Government Electoral Officers of conniving with Oyo APC Local Government Chairmen in distributing permanent voters’ card to their party faithfuls.

The party made this allegation after their emergency meeting in Ibadan yesterday.

According to the Acting Chairman of the Party, “We are fully aware that some local government areas are currently accommodating local government offices of INEC, some INEC offices are not even far from the offices of the elected local government chairmen of the ruling party. We have heard and seen different situations where these so called APC Local Government Chairmen went to INEC offices in their local government and collected huge numbers of PVCs for their member. 

The acting Chairman of the African Peoples Alliance (APA) described this action as biased, undemocratic, unfair and partial.

The party finally urged INEC REC, Mutiu Agboke to investigate the allegations leveled against the Commission’s electoral officers.
