Just 31 days to Nigeria's Presidential election, permanent voter's cards are still not available for registered voters. A visit to Alimoso local government in Lagos, today, Tuesday, 13th February 2015 shows that the local government with the highest number of registered voters showed that over 250,000 voters' cards are still not available from the headquarters in Abuja. WARD 10 alone has 83 units with unavailable PVCs. And with an average of 500 voters per unit, your guess is as good as mine.
An official of the commission who spoke on condition of anonymity said, "if the voters cards are not available now only God knows if they will, before the Presidential elections."
With the number of local governments in Lagos this puts the number of voters with no available PVCs at over one million.
