Senator Oluremi Tinubu, representing Lagos Central Senatorial District urged the Federal Government to declare public holidays for collection of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), ahead of the December 2018 deadline.

Oluremi, in a statement, said that the PVCs were the tools to participating in the forthcoming 2019 general elections. She also urged residents in the state to ensure that they collect their PVCs. The call sequel to revelations by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that over seven million PVCs were yet to be collected nationwide, with one million and four hundred thousand from Lagos Stat

After the 2015 elections, about 12 million PVCs had remained in the electoral body’s custody. ”With previous elections, Nigerians developed voter apathy due to a distrust of the system. The 2015 elections taught us, however, that as individuals, our votes count. Thus, we must rise up as citizens to fulfill our civic responsibility and ensure accountability in governance,” she said.

Towards the 2019 elections, INEC had released modalities for ongoing continuous voter registration. The centres open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. Tinubu pleaded that the period should be extended; and should include weekends to allow people who were unable to visit the centres during work hours to do so at weekends.

She said INEC should ensure that it had adequate resources to make the process quick and easy. She also called for increased voter education and sensitisation to achieve the desire results.

Buharia will never do that especially when he knows that they're going to vote him out with their PVC

Nigerians and public holidays sha. Nigerians should just find time to go for their PVcs Rather than shutting down a Whole Economy for the Exercise.

Cinderella, the Incredible Hulk and Pinocchio are walking down the street.

They come across a sign that says: Beauty Contest.
Cinderella takes a look at the sign and says she is going to enter the contest.
After 10 minutes she comes out with the 1st prize.

They walk further down the road and come across another sign that reads: "Strongest man contest".
Hulk takes a look at it and says, "Hulk smash!!!" and then enters. Sure enough, within 2 minutes he is out with the 1st prize.

They walk further and then come across yet another sign. This one says: "World's BIGGEST liar".
Pinocchio says, "This one is for me", and he rushes right in. After about 3 straight hours he comes out with tears in his eyes.

Hulk and Cinderella ask, "What happened?"

Pinochio replies "Who on Earth is Lai Mohammed?"
