The Interfaith Dialogue Forum for Peace (IDFP) had requested that the Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) of Nigerians who had registered to vote be made available by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The two co-chairmen of the Interfaith Dialogue Forum for Peace (IDFP), Bishop Sunday Onuoha and Alhaji Sanni Kunle, issued the Communiqué at the conclusion of the two-day Sensitization and Capacity Strengthening Workshop for Religious Leaders, Civil Society Organizations, and Policymakers toward Peaceful 2023 General Elections.
The IDFP also requests the unwavering commitment of all stakeholders in the electoral process, including citizens, to ensure elections that are peaceful, credible, and transparent.
“We are calling for effective collaboration among all critical stakeholders before, during and after the elections with regards to planning, deployments, voter education, monitoring and information sharing.
“We want to reduce incidences of electoral violence through full implementation of the electoral act and adequate deployment of security forces to identified vulnerable locations.
“We are urging the security agencies to collaborate with other stakeholders in the communities for intelligence gathering to strengthen the rapid response mechanism and avoid breakdown of law and order.
