Fayose Buying PVCs In Ekiti – APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State has alleged that peoples are selling their voter card to the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, under the watch of Governor Ayo Fayose.The party according to The Nation, claimed that the governor is targeting students of higher institutions and artisans with the intent to collect their voter cards in exchange for money, warning them not to surrender their cards to the governor and his agents.But the Special Assistant to the Governor on Information, Youth and Sports, Lanre Ogunsuyi, who denied the APC allegation, said Fayose does not need to buy voter cards before winning election for President Goodluck Jonathan.Ogunsuyi said the governor enjoys enormous goodwill and love of the people of the state which he enjoyed in the June 21 governorship election and would not descend so low and start buying voter cards.The APC in a statement issued by its Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, identified Fayose and his henchmen as the brain behind the massive mop-up of students’ and artisans’ PVCs in exchange for cash, describing the act as “callous mortgaging of the future of Ekiti youths.“News reaching us now is that Governor Ayodele Fayose has started visiting all the artisans and students in the higher institutions in Ekiti-State, demanding for their PVCs in exchange for cash.“Recently, the governor visited the School of Health Technology, Ijero; College of Education, Ikere; Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti and some other institutions where he deceived students to surrender their PVCs for cash.,” he stated.With two just weeks to the February election, many Nigerians are yet to get their Permanent Voter’s Card, PVC. However, reports have emerged that many nationals of neighbouring countries have secured the PVC in some states.
