Breaking: Anambra State Guber: INEC Holds PVC Distribution And Mock Accreditation
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has fixed October 22 to October 26 for the distribution of Permanent Voter Cards, PVC, for citizens who registered during the recent Continuous Voter Registration, CVR, in Anambra.
The commission disclosed this in a statement by Director, Voter Education and Publicity, Mrs Victoria Eta-Messi in Abuja.
Eta-Messi advised registered voters who participated in the recently concluded CVR exercise in the state to visit the Registration Area where they originally registered to collect their PVCs.
She, however, emphasised that PVC collection is by person, saying there will be no collection by proxy under any circumstances.
“All registered voters are urged to ensure they collect their PVCs within the specified period to be eligible to vote in the forthcoming governorship election in Anambra,” she said.
Eta-Messi also disclosed that the commission would conduct a mock accreditation on Saturday, October 25 in selected polling units across the three senatorial districts of the state.
She said that the exercise would allow INEC to test the upgraded Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, BVAS, assess its response time, and test the uploading of results on the INEC Result Viewing Portal ahead of the main election.
She listed the locations where the exercise would take place in Anambra Central to include Amawbia II (03) Igwédimma Primary School I & II (006) and (007), Idemili North Nkpor II (06) Ububa Village Square (035) in Awka South Local Government Area.
Also are Nteje III (07) Girls Secondary School, Nteje (005), Nteje IV (08) State Primary School, and Nteje (002) in Oyi LGA, Anambra North.
Aguleri II (02) Central School (001), Aguleri II (02) Umunoke Public Square I (002), Anambra East LGA, Anambra North.
Ekwulobia I (06) Central School, Ekwulobia (003), Ekwulobia II (07) and Urban Girls Secondary School Ekwulobia (009), Aguata LGA, Anambra South.
Ajalli I (01) Primary SchooI (007) and Ajalli I (01) RCM KDT School (011), both in Orumba North LGA in the Anambra South.
Eta-Messi urged registered voters in affected polling units to participate actively in the exercise, saying their involvement will help INEC fine-tune operational and technological processes ahead of the Governorship Election.
She expressed INEC commitment to operational efficiency, transparency and the confidence of all stakeholders as preparations for the 2025 Anambra governorship election continue.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
