Peter Obi Media Office Urges Vigilance on PVCs for 2027

The Peter Obi Media Office, representing Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), issued a statement urging Nigerians not to sell or surrender their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) ahead of the 2027 general elections. Signed by spokesman Idris Zekeri, the statement emphasized the importance of protecting PVCs and ensuring that votes count, noting there are exactly 100 days until election day.

The office accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of offering money for PVCs, a claim that could not be independently verified. Additionally, it alleged that some state governors were collecting PVCs from citizens, including civil servants, in exchange for salary payments.

The statement urged voters to resist financial inducements, report electoral manipulation, and vote according to their conscience. It concluded with a call for Nigerians to defend their votes and democracy through lawful means, emphasizing that their PVCs and votes are not for sale.
