A political controversy has erupted in Taraba State as allegations surface that civil servants and teachers were instructed to submit photocopies of their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to receive their salaries. This claim has been met with strong condemnation from Senator Emmanuel Bwacha's camp, which labeled the directive as coercive and unconstitutional, accusing the government of attempting to manipulate the electoral process. Bwacha's media aide called for an investigation into these allegations, emphasizing the importance of protecting public servants' rights. In contrast, the Taraba State Universal Basic Education Board (TSUBEB) dismissed the claims as false, asserting that no such directive was issued and that the chairperson merely encouraged staff to obtain their PVCs. The opposition has vowed to monitor the situation closely and expose any electoral misconduct. The unfolding situation raises concerns about voter intimidation and the integrity of the electoral process in Taraba State.
