Willams Uchemba, a Nollywood actor who is deeply concerned about the upcoming 2023 election, has chastised officials of the Independent Electoral Commission, INEC, for their attitudes toward Nigerians seeking to collect their voters’ cards.
He bemoaned the difficulties faced by electorates in obtaining their ID cards from INEC centers across the country.
There have been videos of eligible voters crying out about how they are being treated by INEC staff who go so far as to collect money before issuing the cards.
The Abia State-born actor shared a video on his Instagram account of some Nigerians protesting not being able to pick up their Permanent Voters’ Cards, PVCs, from their respective zones.
According to Uchemba, most registered voters are told by INEC officials that their PVCs are either “not ready or cannot be found,” and that INEC cannot disenfranchise people and expect a free and fair election.
“I hope INEC is ready for what is coming,” he says.
He urged the electoral empire to take the necessary steps to resolve the issue.
