If you think you are the only
Nigerian without a PVC, or it is just because you are an ordinary Nigerian and
not important, then you are wrong! The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar
III, is without one too.
The Sultan who made this
statement when the president visited him yesterday said he might not be able to
vote next month because he has no PVC.
“Let us respect
people’s wishes; let’s not try to disenfranchise anybody.
“We have had issues of the Permanent Voter Cards and I want
to tell you that even myself, I don’t have a PVC, so it means I will not vote
on February 14.
“So, we have to look for a way out, it is for your
government to now look for what to do, how to ensure that all the cards get to
the voters before the voting day or in the alternative, find a way out because
for any problem there is a solution.
“We believe you will find a solution as regard this very
serious hitch facing us because millions of Nigerians seem to be heading
towards disenfranchisement and they won’t be able to vote. I have heard
comments from the INEC Chairman, (Prof. Attahiru Jega), but we are still
waiting for our cards to come,” he told the president.
