ADC To INEC: Don’t Turn PVC Delays in North-west into Voter Suppression

*Commission asks court to dismiss Atiku’s suit over Tinubu’s certificates Chuks Okocha and Alex Enumah in Abuja The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has called on the Independent National Electoral

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to release a nationwide schedule for producing, distributing and collecting Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs). The party warns against disenfranchising any registered Nigerian due to administrative delays. ADC's spokesman Bolaji Abdullahi emphasized that Nigerians should have certainty about when and where their PVCs will be available.

INEC dismissed Atiku Abubakar's suit accusing President Bola Tinubu of forging his academic certificates, stating it was a gross abuse of the court process that should be dismissed. The commission argued Atiku lacked legal standing to bring the suit and the issues were hypothetical. However, ADC plans to monitor PVC distribution, document voter complaints and ensure the election remains credible.
