The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ekiti State has expressed worries over some noticeable but avoidable defects and deficiencies in the handling of the ongoing Continuous Voters’ Registration, CVR, exercise in the state. A statement by the Director of Publicity and Media of the party in the state, Segun Dipe, described the exercise as shoddy, tardy and a deliberate attempt at disenfranchising the enthusiastic people of Ekiti state from participating in the June 21 governorship election. The party observed that the defects and deficiencies observed in the handling of the registration exercise in most of the designated centres shows either lack of adequate preparation on the side of INEC or deliberate attempt to shortchange the people. It is not about crying wolf where there is none. It is about the facts on ground. Some of the noticeable, yet avoidable deficiencies and defects in the exercise include poor preparation for the exercise by INEC, use of obsolete or faulty systems, inadequacy of staff and materials, among others. This runs contrary to INEC’s promise to begin to get it right with the Ekiti election, and if the morning shows the day, then, it is not yet Uhuru for INEC.
