Sani Urges Fines for PVC Holders Who Skip Voting
Former Kaduna Central Senator Shehu Sani has proposed that individuals who obtain their Permanent Voter’s Cards (PVCs) but do not participate in elections should face penalties.
He shared this suggestion on his official X account, emphasizing that such a measure could help combat the issue of low voter turnout that frequently plagues Nigerian elections.
Sani believes that imposing heavy fines on those who neglect their civic duty, despite being eligible and having collected their PVCs, would serve as a strong deterrent and encourage greater participation in the democratic process.
According to him, voter apathy remains a major challenge, and this approach could motivate more citizens to cast their votes on election day.
The ex-lawmaker’s stance reflects ongoing concerns about electoral engagement in Nigeria, where low turnout rates often undermine the effectiveness of democratic representation.
