Lagos State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Jimi Agbaje, yesterday, appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to review the Permanent Voter Card (PVC)/distribution registration in the state.

Agbaje made the appeal at a rally organised by Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (GEJ) Support Groups, NGOs, marketers and traders to endorse President Jonathan and Agbaje for 2015.

Addressing the rally, Agbaje said INEC must act swiftly to ensure that those still complaining were attended to, noting that “there are still so many people in Lagos that may be de franchised from the process.”

He stated: “Lagos is not like other states. The population makes is different. The disappointment of most of the voters in obtaining the PVC may put them off and discourage them from participating in the 2015 polls”.

He however urged the people not to be deterred but to continue to visit INEC offices across the state for the PVC.
