INEC in Adamawa on Wednesday appealed to 2021 voter cards registrants to go and collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs). It said only 16,000 PVCs out of the 56,000 cards printed by the electoral body between June and December 2021 had been collected.

The appeal was made in Yola by INEC’s spokesman Dahiru Jauro.
