Abia State Govt Warns Against PVC Information Scam

The Abia State Government has issued a warning against politicians who are allegedly deploying agents to various wards to fraudulently obtain information contained on the Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) of unsuspecting rural dwellers. The scammers are reportedly offering N10,000 each to the victims, under the guise of creating a non-existent e-wallet for empowerments.

The Abia State Government has carried out various empowerment programs for youths and the elderly across the state, including the Abia State Interest Free Loan Empowerment Scheme, Abia Techrise Project, and Training of Abia Youths in Agricultural Skills. These programs are designed to benefit Abians without politicization and without attaching questionable preconditions that may violate their rights. The government is committed to providing support to its citizens and promoting their well-being.

The government warns that any person or persons, no matter how highly placed, caught indulging in this act of criminality shall face severe consequences. The government will not hesitate to take action against anyone who attempts to compromise the integrity of the electoral process or exploit vulnerable citizens. The government is determined to ensure that the electoral process is free, fair, and transparent.

The government advises Abians, especially rural dwellers, to distance themselves from any individual or group who may approach them for the purpose of obtaining information contained on their PVCs or any other personal information that may disenfranchise or endanger them. Citizens are encouraged to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.

The government is committed to protecting the rights of its citizens and ensuring that their personal information is not compromised. The government will take all necessary measures to prevent the compromise of PVCs and ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
