Popular Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye has said no one is allowed to visit his house or office without a Permanent Voters Card(PVC), IGBERETV reports.

According to him, Nigerians including his management team and entourage must get it right this time by voting out bad leaders.

He wrote on Twitter;

"I have just instructed my security and my management that No one is allowed to visit my house or my office without showing there PVC! This also include my management team and entourage! No PVC! No Visits and Travels!…We must get it right this time and vote out bad leaders."

Getting Permanent Voter Card (PVC) is not enough.

Voter card is important. But voter card cannot solve the problem in Nigerian elections. The choice voters make is the problem. If only ten persons have PVCs and the majority (at least six) of the ten persons votes wisely, good leaders will emerge. If 100 billion persons collect PVCs and majority of them votes foolishly, bad leaders will emerge. “Get your PVCs” is the only piece of advice trending. Why are we not talking about the tribal, religious and nepotic factors that have always jeopardized our political progress?

When a wrong ideology dominates the society, increase in the number of PVC holders can only result in more votes for the wrong candidates. A situation in which electorates’ choices of candidates are always based on tribalism and nepotism, how can PVCs guarantee good governance for the country? Number of PVC holders only favours tribalism and nepotism. It does not influence voters’ choice of candidates in elections. And tribalism is not good in politics. A good leader is good to all tribes. A bad leader is bad to even his own tribe. If electorates vote wisely, a good candidate will win and treat everybody well not minding how many votes he got from other tribes. If electorates vote foolishly, a bad candidate will win and treat everybody (including his own tribe) bad even if most of his votes came from his own tribe. Jonathan and Bubu are proofs.

Each tribe is clamouring for PVCs just to possibly make its son the president. Igbo people are shouting PVCs hoping it will make Obi win. Yoruba people are shouting the same thing to give victory to either Tinubu or Osinbajo. Northerners are doing their own thing to make a northerner the next president. Some analysts say Obi is the best candidate. But only few persons from the South and the North are drumming for him. Most of his ers are Igbo people. We are in a world where majority of youths abandon their own brains and rely on the brains of social-media influencers. How many social-media influencers of Yoruba and Hausa origins have aired for Obi? This means majority of northern and southern youths who have PVCs will likely vote against him. Can votes from Igbo people alone outnumber the votes from the North and the South? how majority of Igbo people chose Atiku but the votes from the North and the South worked against the same Atiku. Do you now understand why and how voters' choice is more consequential than voters' population?

Also, what about the perennial constraint to free-and-fair elections in Nigeria? Having PVC cannot help Nigeria when electorates do not have the safety to exercise their franchise. A situation where armed deadly thugs disrupt elections, how can “Get Your PVCs” save the nation?

Rigging and prejudice are other problems bigger than low number of voters. Whether 2019 national election victory was by legitimate votes or by illegitimate votes is still an unanswered question. Between those who misused their PVCs and those who had no PVC to vote, who are responsible for 2019 election result? Also, what about the case in Imo State where someone who came 3rd or 4th in an election later became the governor? In the Imo case, the figure used in court does not correspond to the figure provided by INEC. Is low number of voters responsible for that? How is getting PVCs the major problem?

I do not discourage people from getting PVCs. I myself have my own PVC. But as we encourage people to get PVCs, let us not ignore other things that deserve our attention.

wiseoneking:
first of all, go back and get your PVC. You too dey talk too much like parrot.

You are the parrot without human brain. That is why you did not see where I said I have my own PVC. That is also why you did not see where I said I do not discourage people from getting PVC.

Nice one.. I will OBIdienty obey u sir

Way to go!
If we don't get it right in this coming election lets we have additional 8years to cry foul.

Cos your house na paradise. Nothing these people won't even call themselves.

U way dey talk, I hope say u don do your own PVC.

Mumu, what is he feeling like?

Good. Honestly

Noise maker

Way to go!

Peter obi is the best man for the job at the moment. Get your PVC and vote!!!!

However, if Peter obi needs just one vote to win the 2023 elections. That vote is mine!!!

It’s not just to get your PVC, who you vote matters!!!!!!!!

They there they give yourself unnecessary headache. PVC is just formality. Those politicians already know who the next President is.
When Obasanjo contested with Olu falae, the latter pulled more votes in the South than Obasanjo but the results were countered with the results from the North. The same scenario played out during GEJ Vs Buhari in 2015. Results from South were rushing in with serious rigging but were countered with manipulated results from the North.
Now tell me what is the essence of PVC when some people will just sit in one corner manipulating results. Abi u think say orubebe outburst was ordinary.
The last and only credible election we had in Nigeria was the election of 1993 which was annulled by IBB.

**Skibo!!
**Me too, nobody is allowed to greet me without a PVC!!

There is difference between getting PVC & voting for the right candidate at the poll.

We4all:
Mumu, what is he feeling like?

If I call you and your father, plus Tinubu mumu now. The mods would ban me!

They suppose make this PVC regis fully online especially for most of us wey don do multiple biometric capture via Driver's Licence, BVN, NIN etc.

Nevertheless ensure you get your PVC.

Our mumu no go ever do

All those shouting "Get your PVCs" are delusional. The number (population) of voters is never the problem. The choice voters make is the problem.

If only ten persons vote and the majority (at least six) of the ten persons vote wisely, good leaders will emerge.

If 100 billion persons vote and majority of them vote foolishly, bad leaders will emerge.

If number of voters is the problem, there will be no problem in the northern region because that region usually give a very high number of votes.

I do not discourage people from getting PVCs. But I put it to you that number of voters is not among the major problems. Rigging is a bigger problem than low number of voters. The moment INEC was challenged to provide 2019 election data in court, the case died off. This shows Atiku got more legitimate votes than Bubu. Would you blame the 2019 result on those who did not vote? Also, what about the case of Imo state where someone who came 3rd or 4th in an election later became the governor? Is low number of voters responsible for that?

Number of voters only favours tribalism. And tribalism is not good in politics. A good leader is good to all tribes. A bad leader is bad to even his own tribe.

If voters vote wisely, a good candidate will win and treat everybody well even if the majority of the voters are not from his own tribe. If voters vote foolishly, a bad candidate will win and treat everybody bad even if majority of the voters are from his own tribe. Bubu is a proof.

I repeat, I do not discourage people from getting PVCs. I myself have my own PVC. But let us understand PVC is not the major problem.

first of all, go back and get your PVC. You too dey talk too much like parrot.

Good way to go, let's champion the movement.



Seun is time for you to make sure before anyone sign up on Nairaland he/she must his/her PVC for verification process.



And for all old nairalanders there should be a revamp as to where they should show their PVC for verification purposes.



We must defeat these old buffons.

Reallife17:
It’s not just to get your PVC, who you vote matters!!!!!!!!
