Citizens have been going to collect their power card; their Permanent Voters Card, with less than 50 days until Nigeria’s general election, which is one of the most important and anticipated elections (PVC).

It is your trump card because you can use it to elect the next president, governor, senator, and even local governor.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has distributed PVCs to electoral wards to facilitate and expedite the collection process.

Your duty as a citizen is to obtain your PVC and vote without being influenced or corrupted.’

Before you vote, consider your options carefully.

Vote for the best candidate, regardless of race or religion. Examine the candidates critically and select the best.

Remember that a party that intends to steal ballot boxes or bribe voters is neither transparent nor ideal.
