Your PVC Is Your Power’: ATD Raises Alarm Over Alleged Voter Manipulation in Benue

Organisation Calls for Probe Into Claims of Card Collection and Promised Bank Transfers

The Alliance for Truth and Democracy (ATD) has urged voters in Benue State to protect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) amid allegations that political agents linked to Governor Hyacinth Alia’s faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have been collecting the cards and promising financial payments to residents.

The group made the call in a statement signed by its President, Jerome Zoho, on October 18, 2026, while asking the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies to investigate the reported activities.

ATD alleged that individuals operating in some communities had been collecting PVCs from residents, asking them to sign or thumbprint documents whose contents were not adequately explained, and requesting their bank details for promised money transfers.
