Opposition buying PVCs for cloning -Abia

Abia State government has raised the alarm that some opposition political parties in the state “go from house to house in parts of the state to buy permanent voter cards from people for cloning purposes.”

Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Chef Anthony Agbazuere, who raised the alarm at a press briefing in Umuahia, expressed shock that some political parties were engaging in anti-democratic activities  in their desperation to get to power.
He called on the Independent National Electoral Commission to investigate the matter while urging Abians to resist the temptation of selling their PVCs for monetary gains.
His words: “Your voter card is your power, anyone offering you money to buy your card wants to rob you of your voting right and must be resisted.”
He, therefore, warned perpetrators of such heinous act to desist or be prosecuted, adding  that security agents have already been put on alert.
On the outcome of the state’s executive council meeting, Agbazuere  said arrangements were in top gear for the ground breaking ceremony of the proposed Abia airport project.
He said the peace meeting with the necessary  stakeholders and host communities  had almost been completed.
Agbazuere said the airport project was very dear to Governor Theodore Orji, and that his administration was working seriously toward its actualization .
He noted that, although the project might not be fully completed before the exit of the governor in May, the next administration would give it the needed attention considering its economic importance to the state.
