If APC are so sure of winning why are they so scared of everyone voting? You want elections to go ahead when about 25million people can't vote abi? Even in Lagos over 60% of voters are yet to receive their PVCS and you want elections to proceed? What sort of elections would that be?

Here is Jega stand as at this morning in Saturday's Newspaper:

The Independent National Electoral Commission has listed Kano, Kaduna and Lagos as the states leading in the collection of Permanent Voter Cards.

The electoral body said it was committed to its earlier position that the Temporary Voter Cards would not be allowed for voting during the next general elections.

The INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, in his submission to the Council of State meeting presided over by President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday, said the commission would not reverse its decision to use PVCs for the elections in order to enhance the credibility of the polls.

A copy of the submission titled: “Preparations for the 2015 general elections: Progress report,” presented to the Council of State meeting by Jega stated that a total of 45,098,876 PVCs had been collected across the country as of Wednesday.

A document tagged “Attachment 2” attached to Jega’s presentation claimed that the figure represents 65.81 per cent of the 68,833,476 total number of registered voters nationwide.

The document indicated that 3,190,417 voters had collected their PVCs out of the 4,975,701 registered voters in Kano State representing 64.11 per cent of the registered voters.

In Kaduna State, 2,976,628 voters, representing 87.36 per cent, have collected their cards out of 3,407,222 registered voters.

In Lagos State, 2,267,039 voters, representing 38.39 per cent, have collected their PVCs out of 5,905,852 registered voters.

In Katsina State, 2,245,303 voters (79.40 per cent) have collected their cards out of 2,827,943 registered voters.

Bayelsa State has the least number of voters with PVCs. In that state, 386,125 voters (63.26 per cent) have collected their cards out of 610,373 registered voters.

In Abuja, 464,769 voters (52.73 per cent) have collected their cards out of 881,472 registered voters.

In Ekiti State, 496,536 voters (67.83 per cent) have collected their PVCs out of 732,021 registered voters.

Jega, however, said the commission would not conduct elections with TVCs because they (the TVCs) had no chips and could therefore not be authenticated by card readers.

He added that if TVCs were allowed, millions of people who were involved in multiple registration and whose names had been removed from voters register for the next elections would approach polling units on election days, whereas their names would not be in the register.

The INEC chairman said, “The nation has invested a lot in the Card Readers and Permanent Voters Cards technology and the commission believes that using them in the 2015 general elections would confer remarkable transparency and credibility to the electoral process.

“There have been demands that the commission should revert to the use of TVCs issued during the 2011 registration and the subsequent Continuous Voters Registration.

“The TVCs have no chips and therefore cannot be verified or authenticated by the card readers. Also, there are more than four million cases of multiple registration; people with TVCs, who have been removed from the certified register of voters for the 2015 elections.

“Once the use of TVCs is allowed, many of these people would inundate polling units on election day; their names will not be in the register, and they would start agitation that they have been ‘disenfranchised’ as was the case during the Anambra State governorship elections in November 2013.

“In any case, people who collected PVCs no longer have TVCs because they used them to exchange for PVCs.

“Additionally, a high percentage of voters had to use the attestation forms provided to collect their PVCs due to loss of TVCs on account of floods, insurgency, etc.”

Meanwhile, Jega regretted that due to funding constraints, the commission could not do enough hands-on training for its Presiding Officers and Assistant Presiding Officers on the technology of the PVCs and card readers.

The elections are most likely to be postponed today and I dare you to do your worst. You think you have a monopoly over violence

What did you mean by everyone voting? Is there a country where 100% of voters participated in an election? There were about 45-46 million eligible voters in 2011 and only about 38 Million voted. Now in 2015 we have over 9 Million voters more than we had in 2011 and collection of PVC is still going on for another six days.

In 2011 46million TVCs were distributed so whoever didn't vote, didn't want to vote

Give people their PVCS and leave it to them to vote or not.You make me laugh saying they we still have six days .if after two months only45 million PVCs have been distributed, how can you distribute 25m in six days?

Have you considered that parts of the cards distributed in 2011 happened to belong to people with multiple registration? That election of 2011 was a sham. Any election carried out with the old temporary cards like it happened in 2011 has to be a sham.

Stop speculating,you are saying it was a scam because your candidate lost. APC just wants the elections to go ahead because they think the current PVC distribution favours them.

It is not about speculating as you just insinuated. How did states in the Sout-east and South-south achieve 98% voters turn out? It has never happened like that before. That should tell you all you need to know about rigging. As Amaechi said, they delivered two million votes to Jonathan in River State through any means available but won't happen again in 2015. You and I know Jonathan couldn't have got 25 million votes in 2011 without massive rigging that happened in the East, South-south and some areas in the North.

Even in the oldest democracy on the planet (USA), the highest that ever happened was between 83-87% turn out of 2008 election.

Sire,I feel u're wrong. The problem is that PDP haven't yet perfected its rigging almighty formula using the military to facilitate access for PDP operatives and supporters, the creation of a list of APC
members to be arrested come Feb 14, and the deployment of a Special Team of military personnel to prevent APC voters from
reaching the polls,just as was done in Ekiti.

Jonathan/PDP are trying everything to see if they can steal this election, like they did the NNPC money. God forbid.

Sai Buhari all the way.

So this is why APC is so desperate to disenfranchise people of the south east and south-south? First and foremost your percentages are wrong secondly, that result is not impossible as people registered shortly before the elections and were still within the same location.

Give people their PVCs and let the voters decide.

PDP are the ruling government and would still control the army whether the elections are held on February14 or not so it is immaterial if the date are shifted. Remember the same army were in place when opposition parties won in ondo, anambra and osun states.

This is very very true thou.
