So the Sultan of Sokoto does not have a PVC? Interesting


If you think you are the only Nigerian without a PVC, or it is just because you are an ordinary Nigerian and not important, then you are wrong! The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, is without one too.

The Sultan who made this statement when the president visited him yesterday said he might not be able to vote next month because he has no PVC.


“Let us respect people’s wishes; let’s not try to disenfranchise anybody.

“We have had issues of the Permanent Voter Cards and I want to tell you that even myself, I don’t have a PVC, so it means I will not vote on February 14.


“So, we have to look for a way out, it is for your government to now look for what to do, how to ensure that all the cards get to the voters before the voting day or in the alternative, find a way out because for any problem there is a solution.


“We believe you will find a solution as regard this very serious hitch facing us because millions of Nigerians seem to be heading towards disenfranchisement and they won’t be able to vote. I have heard comments from the INEC Chairman, (Prof. Attahiru Jega), but we are still waiting for our cards to come,” he told the president.
