The Presidential Campaign Council of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers, has raised the alarm over alleged plans by some top politicians it did not name to buy up the Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) of eligible voters in the State.
The Campaign Council said the action was aimed at ensuring that the people of the State do not cast their votes for the PDP Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar/Okowa, come 2023.
Spokesman of the PDP presidential campaign council in Rivers State, Dr. Lenoonu Nwibubasa, disclosed this in signed press statement on Tuesday in Port Harcourt, the State capital.
Nwibubasa said: “We are here to inform Rivers people about a sinister plot, already hacked by top politicians in Rivers State, to buy up the permanent voter’s cards of our citizens in order to deny them the opportunity to vote.
“This is ongoing in every local government; top politicians in every local government have been briefed to ensure that they buy up voter’s cards from members of the public.
“We, therefore, want to bring this information to dear citizens of our State that under no condition, including threat and financial inducement, should you relegate your fundamental right of casting your votes in the upcoming election by selling out your permanent voter’s cards to any individual.”
