According to the parties, they had received what they described as credible intelligence suggesting that some political actors were pressuring electoral officials to release unclaimed PVCs in bulk.
The political atmosphere ahead of the forthcoming governorship election in Osun State has intensified, as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Accord Party have accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of attempting to gain access to unclaimed Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) in the state.
The opposition parties, in a joint statement issued on Sunday, June 21, 2026, alleged that there were moves to improperly obtain thousands of PVCs that have not yet been collected by registered voters, describing the alleged plan as a potential threat to the credibility of the electoral process.
The Osun state governorship election is scheduled for August 15, 2026.
The statement was jointly signed by the Osun PDP Chairman, Sunday Bisi, and his Accord Party counterpart, Victor Akande.
