The Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) in Osun has condemned the action of some party members who are alleged to have been engaged in the sale of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
This condemnation is coming on the heels of rumours of voter card sales at a polling unit in Ilesa.
The secretary of the Inter-Party Advisory Council in Osun State, Tosin Odeyemi, noted that the incident was a bad omen considering the level of the crisis being experienced as the July 16, gubernatorial election draws near.
