Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has raised alarm over alleged plot by the opposition party to compromise voters’ register by mopping up Permanent Voters’ Cards across the state, calling on the populace not to release their cards to anyone for pecuniary gains.
The governor, in a statement issued by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, on Thursday, said there is an ongoing coordinated move by the opposition, “to buy up voters’ voting cards and extract PIN numbers from the cards to disenfranchise voters on August 15”.
The state governor noted further that opposition agents are extracting PINs from the voters’ cards by offering monetary rewards. He warned that local governments with huge followership of the Accord Party are targets.
“The plot is to ensure massive dislocation of registered voters from their place of registration such as from one town to the other and thereby making it impossible for such voters to vote on the day of election.
