Nigerians without PVC have no right to complain-Presidential aspirant

Presidential aspirant; Fela Durotoye

Presidential aspirant for 2019 election, Adetokuno Olufela Durotoye, has warned Nigerians that they have no right to complain about inadequate governance if they don't get their permanent voter's card (PVC) to effect the changes they desire.

He said this during an interview with Nigeria Info 99.3 FM in Port Harcourt, stressing that every Nigerian of voting age should understand the responsibility of their voting power.

He said "So, it's better for you to get your voter's card and then decide whether there are people who are worthy of your votes or not. If you don't have your voter's card, there's nobody worthy of your vote because you cannot vote.He said, "Go and get your voter's card. If you do not have a voter's card and you're above the age of 18, you have chosen to lose your voice. You're not losing a chance to vote, you're losing your voice. You have no right to speak or to complain throughout the term for which you did not make a choice.

"If you're a father and you don't have your voter's card, don't tell me you love your children; it is a lie, you do not because you cannot guarantee the future of your children by not voting.

"If you're a mother and you don't have your voter's card, please, I beg of you, don't ever tell your children 'I love you'. When you want to tell your children 'I love you' is because you have your voter's card and you're making the decisions for them. Love is an action, love is not a feeling. Everybody above the age of 18 should understand it is a responsibility to get your voter's card.

"It is an option to decide who to vote for, but it is not an option to not register."

Vote for the future - Durotoye

The aspirant further urged Nigerians to look to the future to decide who to vote for in next year's general elections.

Durotoye will contest for the presidency in next year's election on the platform of the Alliance for a New Nigeria (ANN). He'll have to beat Dr Thomas-Wilson Ikubese and Dr Elishama Ideh to emerge the party's flag bearer to be able to face incumbent, President Muhammadu Buhariand a host of other contenders.
