APM Accuses APC of PVC Hijacking Ahead of 2027 Elections

The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) Presidential Campaign Organisation has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of plotting to hijack unclaimed Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) for the upcoming 2027 general elections. This allegation was made in a statement released on Thursday by the campaign council of Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde.

The APM claims that certain officials from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) are planning to distribute millions of unclaimed PVCs to individuals linked to the APC. The campaign council has called on INEC to address these serious allegations and clarify how it is safeguarding uncollected voter cards nationwide.

They warned that any compromise regarding the custody of unclaimed PVCs could lead to electoral manipulation and erode public trust in the election results. The council emphasized that unclaimed PVCs should not be treated as disposable assets or political tools, insisting on the necessity for pre-election transparency rather than post-election justifications.
