The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State, on Tuesday, accused the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) in Ondo State of collecting the Permanent Voters Card (PVC) of Okada riders (motorcyclists) at the State House in exchange for money ahead of the governorship election on October 10, 2020.
In a statement by the PDP State Publicity, Mr Kennedy Peretei, the Party urged the Okada riders and other residents of the State who are being enticed to submit their PVCs for financial inducement to be vigilant and use their votes to advance development in the State.
Starnews Nigeria reports that the PDP described such financial inducement in exchange for their PVCs as illegal.
”The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo state, has on good authority that the APC led government is inviting Motorcycle operators (Okada riders) in the state to the Government House to submit their PVCs in exchange for monetary gains”
”We wish to remind the Motorcycle operators that such development is only aimed at further impoverishing and denying them of their social responsibility.”
”We urge the Okada riders and other residents of the State who are being enticed to submit their PVCs for financial inducement to be vigilant and use their votes to advance development in the State.”
”The PDP believes that such financial inducement in exchange for their PVCs is illegal. We cannot discourage them from collecting the money as it is ‘their money.”
”Such monies ordinarily should be used for the development of the State but the failed government felt that using it for financial inducement is the best thing to do at this time.”
”We appeal to the people who are being enticed with this Greek gift to collect it willingly and use their PVCs genuinely to send out the APC led the government from Alagbaka on October 10, 2020,” the statement said.
