2019: ADC violates human rights by asking for PVCs from the electorate – Group

A human rights group under the aegis of Better Nigeria Association has strongly condemned the advert by The African Democratic Congress (ADC) on page 5 of Tribune , 9th August 2018, which called on innocent Nigerians to produce their Permanent Voters Card (PVCs) under the guise of joining the party.

Contained in a letter written to newsmen on Thursday, the human rights group accused the ADC of ulterior motives as they claimed to have gathered intelligence reports, that the plans of ADC leadership is to lure the unsuspecting electorate into the party under the guise of an empowerment program, during which their voters’ cards will be seized and they will pressured to vote for the party in the coming elections.

Better Nigeria Association also perceived this development as a violation of human rights, as nobody or party should be allowed to intimidate the electorate, under the promise of providing monetary benefits and food items.

The group further advocated for the need to allow Nigerians the freewill to decide the leaders of the country, as that is the only way to ensure a better Nigeria. The letter also noted in part, that any plan by political parties to coerce or lure unsuspecting Nigerians to part with their PVC on any occasion would be met with stiff resistance by the group.
