With barely a month to the general elections, the leadership of the Electrical Dealers Association of Nigeria, Alaba International Market, Lagos State, has embarked on no Permanent Voter Card (PVC), no entry. According to a video footage seen by SaharaReporters, all the business owners in the market were locked outside by the leaders with only those who were able to show their PVCs allowed entry into the market.

According to the narrator, the market leaders were making sure that every business owner in the market who is eligible to vote is able to vote in the forthcoming elections.

The witness said, “Looking at this place, you will understand that what is going on is what was agreed on. This is the Electrical Dealers Association of Nigeria, Alaba International Market, Lagos State. You can see that they are trying to make sure that anyone entering this market has his/her PVC . "The officers of the market are doing everything possible to make sure that before you enter inside the market, you are with your PVC. This time around, the market has taken upon itself to make sure that things go as they are planned. They are doing the work as it was planned.

"You can see the PRO of the market making sure that everything is going well as it is supposed to be. These ones inside the market are with their PVCs already." While the Independent National Electoral Commission has insisted that the general elections must hold as scheduled with the Presidential and National Assembly elections taking place on February 25, many Nigerians have reportedly not collected their PVCs from the electoral umpire.

Jokers. You don’t have to force citizens over voters card.

Woooooooo, I love it

Many that even have PVC will not vote

For those saying “this is rubbish”, “this is madness” don’t forget they have unions in that market and they are been guided by it. Did u see anyone protest against it? It has been made clear (maybe) in their union meetings that they will embark on this. So why are u shouting?

Really

Igbo av not get president but they have already because dictators

I so much love it. At least get your fuckin pvc and vote. Na here over 18yrs Dey vote. When I was in jss class for keffi, nasarawa state. Little girls and boys Dey go vote live and direct.kids I know I senior sha ni. Na why you gats collect your pvc so your vote can counter them.

They should do the same to customers no voting card you can't buy anything nonsense

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

You are forcing them to get fake pvc

😂😂😂

This is wrong though!!

You can force the donkey to the river side but can you force it to drink?

Now Obidients are ready

Based on what legislation?

Government should shut down the market. This will allow them to get enough PVC.

Foolishness

Hmmmmm

Good one 90% of the Igbo’s in the market don’t have Pvc yet they watch tv during and after election expecting there favorite to win lol 😆 operation go get your pvc is not a crime it’s your right ✅

But truly there is something called political apathy. I would assume each citizen has the right to that also.

Ndị eriri eri

Interesting!

That's a good step they have taken

We are all 'animals'.

Gbam! Go collect PVC

Better

Mad people everywhere

Nonsense

Gradually una go turn this to no Monday movement like East

Anybody in that place that doesn't collect PVC must be fined and sanctioned.

Call it whatever you want.... We support it. Get your PVC and stop that baba alagbado & criminal from Aso rock.

So people don't have the freedom to make a choice for themselves anymore? Na wa o

This is Ojo Alaba market my people

You Chairman did not observed sit at home but today you locked the market because of pvcs . When will some of us Igbos learn ?

My question is who are those in alaba market, them must have agreed to that before them start it, for me is a family matters, them have union.

I like this one

The idea is to forcefully collect the PVCs to Rigg for the owners of Lagos.

So to vote in zoological republic is now by force

Kindly Vote for BAT he is our renewed hope. The APCPresCC2022 has a well-designed blueprint to resuscitate Nigeria 🇳🇬 and improve standards of living. Our candidate. officialABAT is an exceptional administrator that knows how to tackle all issues from top to bottom.

Their MUMU never do they have been voting for 100 years now yet the voting only give them bad road, no power electricity, no good hospital, no water not right to leave, not right to speak yet they are forcing them to go vote mad people everywhere

Civic responsibility is not mandatory in our constitution

This is madness, was it on their contract when giving out the shops for rent? As bad as voter apathy is, no one should be treated like this when they choose not to vote.

That is rubbish from the market management

Very necessary

Rubbish. Even if everyone has voters card; would anyone force anyone to vote?

Most Igbo people we support it, but if it happens in the north is oppression, that's total nonsense

Approved ✅

We the Biafrans will surely make History this Year 2023 1. We will Stop Election in Biafra Land 2. We will redeclare Biafra 3. We will Protect our borders. 4. We will start the emancipation and civilization of Africa and Black Race all over the world.

Nice one

Absolutely! Madness. Why forcing citizens to get PVC

Lol e choke
