Your PVC is weapon of mass destruction | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News
This is the third time that I have written on this same enormous power of that small voter card called PVC. I have had to return to this same subject at this time because in the next five weeks we will certainly face the consequences of our electoral choices. After the election, we may return to reading from another book of lamentation. We may have been complaining about the 16 years that the locusts ate through the PDP from 1999-2015.
Let us defeat the congenital election riggers who have brought reproach to our country through rigged leadership recruitment processes. Let us defeat these principalities and powers, vote buyers by first conquering voter apathy. It isn’t indeed a time for lamentation in the media. It is a time for participation. Please, don’t sell your PVC. It is evil and note that the buyers in your area know that they just want to kill support for your preferred candidates. They can’t use your PVC to vote.
Researchers have established that apart from Zimbabwe’s 1996 presidential ballot that recorded a voter turnout of 32.3 per cent, Nigeria’s 2019 presidential election is the second lowest in recent elections in Africa. This trend trumped the recent off-season National Assembly and Governorship elections. Among others, the Lagos East senatorial election scored a turnout of 10 per cent in 2020.
One, I believe that the youth too have been remarkably inspired by so many unethical behaviours they have found in us, . There are the young ones who have found wealth without work in numerous parents and relations. As I have also noted here in the same construct, not a few young students are aware they did not pass their post-primary final examinations used for dubious admissions into some universities and polytechnics. They know the elders who arranged their admissions.
This is a time to mobilise all the good people of Nigeria who have not been spoilt by the sustainable prejudices – to adopt many young Nigerians into collecting data, yes, facts and figures about this country that needs urgent redemption songs. This is a time to know that social media noises don’t deliver victory to preferred candidates.
I believe we should organise ourselves to deepen our understanding of what the alternative political actors are repeating daily that Nigeria can indeed be a significant world power if we are rightly led. We need to emphasise to the youth in Nigeria that Nigeria is the only glimmer of hope of the black race as legendary Madiba surprisingly noted before he flew away.
