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.
