2027: APC plotting to hijack unclaimed PVCs – Makinde campaign council

The Makinde-Daura Presidential Campaign Organisation has accused the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, of plotting to hijack unclaimed Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs, for the 2027 general elections.

The campaign council made this allegation in a statement on Thursday, stating that some officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, were planning to release millions of unclaimed PVCs to APC-linked individuals ahead of the election.

It urged INEC to immediately address the allegation and tell Nigerians how uncollected voter cards are being protected across the country.

According to the council, the issue was too serious to be ignored, especially as political parties doubled their preparations for the 2027 general election.

The council issued a strong warning, stressing that any compromise in the custody of unclaimed PVCs could create room for electoral manipulation and weaken public confidence in the outcome of the election.

“An unclaimed PVC must neither be a disposable property nor a political asset to the enemies of credible elections.

“Nigerians do not need post-election explanations; they deserve pre-election transparency,” the council said.
