The
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has denied having any link
with Facebook for online registration for Permanent Voter Card (PVC). It
described
such Facebook account link as fake.
The commission made the denial in
a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Mr Rotimi
Oyekanmi, and posted on its online news portal (http://inecnews.com). Oyekanmi
advised the public to disregard the fake Facebook platform as it was yet to
commence online registration for PVCs.
“INEC wishes to inform the general
public that it is not in any way associated with a Facebook page called `INEC
Nigeria Online,’ with the Uniform Resource Locator
(URL)https://web.facebook.com/INEC-Nigeria-Online-1211567328987773/.
“Some
unknown persons opened this Facebook platform with all intents and purposes to
lure unsuspecting Nigerians into believing that they can apply online for the
Permanent Voter Card (PVC). “The Commission hereby reiterates that it has not
begun online registration of Nigerians for the purpose of obtaining the PVC,
neither has it authorised any organisation, group or individual to do so.’’
