She noted that registering for PVC during CVR was a civil responsibility that all Nigerians should cherish, adding that the CVR was worth the stress and the commission was duly committed to the exercise.

The Administrative Secretary further informed that the commission in the state distributed 36,647 old PVCs as at August 25 while 137,719 PVCs were yet to be collected.

She said that collection was a bit low in the state and that was why the commission kept sensitising the electorate to come forward for them.

Orianrian-Anthony also advised the disabled and women to be part of the registration.

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.

President Buhari had earlier criticised the attitude of some Nigerian youth, describing them as lazy, uneducated, and want free education, housing, healthcare among others.

He was quoted during a panel appearance with world leaders at the Commonwealth Business Forum held in London.

The President’s comment has attracted widespread criticisms from Nigerians. A former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, Governor Ayo Fayose, Senator Ben Murray-Bruce, and others condemning the comment.

However, in a recent post on Instagram, Thursday, Banky W expressed his thoughts, just as he urged Nigerian youths to get their Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC).

“So apparently, this is what our President thinks about ‘a lot of the Nigerian youth’. What do you guys think?”, the artist asked his fan.

“INEC will not count your tweets. Let’s turn the month of May into #PVCMay.

“The registration period will end LONG before the elections come, so if you think you can wait until next year, you are wrong”, he urged his audience.
