The All Progressives Congress has alleged that some people suspected to be agents of the Peoples Democratic Party have begun to buying PVCs and the intimidation of some voters to seize their PVCs, in the wake of the recent postponement of the general elections.

In a statement in Lagos on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said a company, Agro-Allied Communities Service Nigeria Limited, has been formed ostensibly to provide N50,000 each to empower women.

APC claimed, however, that anyone seeking to get the loan must provide her PVC as a collateral, calling the firm a PDP front to mop up PVCs, especially in opposition strongholds.

The party said it was becoming clearer what the PDP-led Federal government sought to gain by forcing the postponement of the elections for six weeks, arguing that the shift was to perfect their rigging plans.

The party warned those behind the acts to desist from such tactics, which its noted reflected the desperation by some people to hold on to power at all cost.

It added that it was clear that Nigerians had widely rejected them due to non-performance, massive corruption and profligacy under their watch.

APC appealed to its members and supporters in particular, and Nigerians in general, not to sell their PVCs under any guise, saying was the only power they had to effect a meaningful change that could ensure the deliverance of democratic dividends to them.

It added, Our members have alerted us to the fact that PDP agents have been operating in all villages between Kobape and Orile-Imo along the Sagamu-Abeokuta Expressway in Ogun State, giving N10,000 to each poor villager and collecting their PVCs. The PDP agents are also promising each villager a monthly stipend of N10,000 if and when their party assumes office in the state.

Indications are that this objectionable PVC mop-up is being replicated in all opposition strongholds by the frenzied PDP, hence we, at the APC, have decided to alert the nation to the reprehensible act.

The party equally alleged that some Immigration personnel, acting under the guise of arresting illegal aliens with voter cards, are dispossessing a lot of unsuspecting locals in the northern part of the country of their PVCs.
