Why Jonathan, PDP Are Angry With Jega – Punch Reveals by SEHHYTEX(m): 1:17am On Mar 03, 2015 |
There were revelations in Abuja on Monday on why President Goodluck Jonathan and the national leadership of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party were angry with the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega. A week-long investigation by our correspondent in Abuja showed that the President and his party are not happy with Jega over his insistence that the commission would use the Permanent Voter Cards for the election. The PVCs were used for the conduct of the governorship elections in both Ekiti and Osun states, which were won by the PDP and the All Progressives Congress respectively. Apart from this, the President and the party were also angry that the commission was going ahead with its decision to use card readers. This technology was however not used in both Ekiti and Osun states elections. The commission has said that the card reader can only read PVC issued by it and that any person that shows up at the polling unit without a PVC or with a card not issued by INEC will not be able to vote. It was learnt that the Presidency and the ruling party were not totally against the use of the PVCs, but they were not happy with the use of card readers. A worker in the Presidency who spoke with our correspondent on Sunday queried the insistence of INEC under the leadership of Jega to go ahead with the two items. He said, “Now, what we are saying is that yes, the PVCs were used in both Ekiti and Osun governorship elections but the way and manner the PVCs are being distributed now is suspicious. “Look at the figure of those who have collected from the northern part of the country and look at the figure from the southern part, where President Jonathan hails from. “If the election is going to be by ethnic sentiment alone, you will know that our President has been defeated already. So, that’s the reason. “Look at Ogun and Lagos states, which we all know are politically sophisticated. Why are the electorates not picking their PVCs? We are worried.” In terms of PVCs collection, figures released by the commission indicated that Ogun State is lagging behind among all the states of the federation, including the Federal Capital Territory. In the state, only 808,590 out of the 1,829,534 registered voters had collected their PVCs. This figure represents a mere 44.20 per cent. But the commission said that 1,387,401 PVCs had been delivered to the state. Lagos State with 5,822,207 registered voters had recorded 63.44 per cent of the PVCs collection. This shows that 3,693,355 of the cards had been picked by their owners. But the commission said that 5,558,062 cards had been delivered for voters in the state. This means that there are 1,864,707 PVCs yet to be picked by their owners in the state. When asked whether the refusal of the owners of the PVCs to pick them up could be attributed to Jega, the source said that the commission should embark on more enlightenment. On the issue of card readers, a member of the National Working Committee of the party, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that there was no way the machine would be effective in the area of accreditation of voters. When this issue was raised before the commission, an explanatory note presented to our correspondent showed that accreditation of a voter using the card reader is expected to last for about 20 seconds. http://www.punchng.com/news/why-jonathan-pdp-are-angry-with-jega-investigation/ 4 Likes |

Even Seriake Dickson acknowledges voter apathy in the president's home state of Bayelsa. The people there are reluctant to obtain their PVCs though they are available for pickup. 68 Likes 6 Shares |

This is not PVCs that is meant for collection but undelivered? God have mercy There is every indications that this man is going He provided no platform for millions of Southerners running for their life from the violent north to vote here in the south amounting to millions of GEJ'S voters being disenfranchised If it is you, will u be happy? Upon that the level of pvc collections was more than double in the northern states. I don't know weda he used juju do the magic or other unknown strategies. Am not against pvc cum card reader but the way the whole inec affairs was going under this prof is pointing some where to benefit the opposition GEJ!!! a warning note, don't allow anybody to take matchet and go to your back while u are a matchet man 20 Likes 2 Shares |

GEJ pls leave Jega alone to carry out his duties to Nigeria in peace! What is even your problem sef? I think u are already spending billions campaigning, why can't u bank on that for your victory?? It seems u don't mind being disgraced just like Gbagbo. Carry on then, your day of reckoning is at hand already. 69 Likes 1 Share |

PVC has address of the voter right there at the bottom of the card. INEC should pick the PVCs and with the addresses on them, distribute them house to house like we do on immunisation programme. I give just two days, all the PVCs will be distributed. 18 Likes 2 Shares |

Orunto:And what's the job of your Postal Service if INEC is reduced to delivering mail? Oh, you didn't know that if GEJ's boys sold at least 3-5 of the Private Jets Jonathan always boasts about on his campaigns that NIPOST would be adequately funded? If they didn't steal the money meant for development to buy Private Jets your PVC would be sitting in your mail box next to your front door. 37 Likes 2 Shares |

Long and short of the matter is that the whole process of PVC was tailored to favour the APC . Jega is compromised. My only problem is that PDP should have seen the handwriting on the wall long before now and correct it. . PVCs and the temporary voting cards should be used to give every Nigerian a chance to vote. . GEJ till 2019. whether the Devil , BH , or Jega like it or not. . Nigerians don't need somebody that has not been able to CHANGE his life for better since leaving power 31yrs ago. 2 Likes |
