2023: Millions of Northern voters submitting PVCs to politicians for N2000 – Northern Elders raise alarm
The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has drawn public attention to new trend of buying of Permanent Voters’Card (PVC) from prospective electorates by politicians in Northern Nigeria.
NEF said people are selling their PVCs for as low as N2000.
The forum made the disclosure in a statement signed by its Director, Publicity and Advocacy of NEF, Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed.
NEF said this action will not only disenfranchised many people in the vast northern region but will also suppressed voters and reduce the voting powers of the North.
