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.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
