The All Progressives Congress (APC) has alleged that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is buying Permanent Voters Cards (PVC) from citizens at the rate of N10,000 each.
The APC made the allegation via a statement released on Tuesday, February 10, by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed.
The statement reads:
“Our
members have alerted us to the fact that PDP agents have been operating
in all villages between Kobape and Orile-Imo along the Sagamu-Abeokuta
Expressway in Ogun State, giving 10,000 Naira to each poor villager and
collecting their PVCs. The PDP agents are also promising each villager a
monthly stipend of 10,000 Naira if and when their party assumes office
in the state.”
“Indications are that this
objectionable PVC mop-up is being replicated in all opposition
strongholds by the frenzied PDP, hence we at the APC have decided to
alert the nation to the reprehensible act.”
”This
act of desperation is totally unacceptable and must stop forthwith.
Every voter should be allowed to exercise his or her franchise in
accordance with his/her conscience, without intimidation or inducement.”
“We
hope this is not part of the reasons that the PDP relentlessly
campaigned for a postponement of the elections, so it can engage in PVC
purchase and the disenfranchisement of innocent Nigerians through
harassment and intimidation.”
