The All Progressive Congress (APC) has dismissed the allegations made by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that it is buying Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) from commercial motorcycle operators” ahead of the October 10 governorship election in the state.
Mr Kennedy Peretei, the state PDP Publicity Secretary, had made the allegation in a statement issued in Akure on Tuesday.
“The PDP in Ondo State, has it on good authority that the APC-led government is inviting commercial motorcycle operators in the state to the Government House to submit their PVCs in exchange for money,” Peretei had noted in the statement.
“We wish to remind the Motorcycle operators that such a development is only aimed at further impoverishing and denying them of their social responsibility.”
But Mr Alex Kalejaiye, APC Publicity Secretary in the state, responding to the allegation, said the main opposition party had become jittery.
“Our party does not need to collect PVCs ahead of the election. The jittery opposition had withdrawn from the race before it led its unsuspecting supporters on an endless ego trip,” Peretei stated, replying the PDP.
