YENAGOA—SOME communities in Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, yesterday, bemoaned the poor distribution of the Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs, by the Independent Electoral Commission, INEC, in the communities.

Vanguard gathered that in Kaiama Wards 4 and 5, most registered eligible voters were yet to receive their PVCs even as the deadline for the collection draws closer.

A community leader in one of the affected communities, King Timi Amraran, regretted that many registered voters in his wards and units have not been able to collect their PVCs and therefore, stand the risk of being disenfranchised, stressing that INEC officials have been giving excuses and promises to provide their PVCs.

Amraran wondered why the electoral body has not been able to provide PVCs for some units in the area and expressed fear that some politicians may have sabotaged the PVCs distribution process in the area.
