Not Every Single Person Will Get His/Her PVC - Adeola Solomon

Chairman of the House of Representatives
Committee on Public Accounts Hon. Solomon
Adeola said at the weekend that a 100 per cent
Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC) collection before
election is not attainable.
Addressing All Progressives Congress (APC) youth
leaders from Lagos West Senatorial District, who
visited him, the senatorial candidate said from the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
statistics, Lagos State has attained 81 per cent
PVC collection. He said that the collection rate will
improve before the March 22 collection deadline.
“It is not possible to have a 100 per cent PVC
collection. Lagos has attained 81 per cent as at
the last count. He said those complaining or
petitioning of PVC collection at this point were not
prepared for the election and only dreading their
imminent defeat.
Adeola urged the youth leaders to enjoin those
with PVCs not to sell their cards as some political
parties are bent on disenfranchising those that
already have PVCs for unknown reasons.
He called on the youths to work hard for the
desired change that is adding that, since 1999, this
is the first time that the opposition is ahead of the
ruling party in popularity rating by reputable
polling organisations.
The leader of the Youths Mr. Lukmon Jimoh, said
APC youths in the district will deliver all ward to
the APC.
Also, a group in Alimosho Local Government of
Lagos West Senatorial District, the Grassroots
Progressive Movement (GPM), has endorsed the
senatorial ambition of Solomon Adeola to represent
Lagos West in the Senate.
Its leader, Pastor Michael Oyedepo said the group
which cut across all tribes with professionals and
artisans, sees in the antecedent of the legislator a
representative that has the interest of the people at
heart.
“We came to register our support for you face to
face as we have been preaching to people on the
need to have you as the senator as the most
qualified candidate. You are friendly and
hardworking. You have a record of public and
community service and we are sure you will not
disappoint at the Senate.” Oyedepo said.
Adeola lamented Nigeria’s economic situation
saying he will always support and partner with
groups and individuals that believe in people’s
power in electing leaders adding that until such
groups as theirs and individual began to assert
and exercise their power change to better
leadership is very unlikely.
