The Makinde-Daura Presidential Campaign Organization on Thursday, 8 October, 2026 accused the ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC), of plotting to hijack unclaimed Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs, for the 2027 general elections, reports thegazellenewws.com.
The campaign council, which made this allegation through a statement on Thursday added that some officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, were planning to release millions of unclaimed PVCs to APC-linked individuals ahead of the election.
While calling on INEC to immediately address the allegation and tell Nigerians how uncollected voter cards are being protected across the country, the council added that the issue was too serious to be ignored, especially as political parties doubled their preparations for the 2027 general election.
The council issued a strong warning, stressing that any compromise in the custody of unclaimed PVCs could create room for electoral manipulation and weaken public confidence in the outcome of the election.
“An unclaimed PVC must neither be a disposable property nor a political asset to the enemies of credible elections.
“Nigerians do not need post-election explanations; they deserve pre-election transparency,” the council said.
