| Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, yesterday, said voters in the country should use their permanent voters’ cards (PVCs) to punish incompetent leaders and the party that will field them by voting them out in the next general elections |
Speaking shortly after collecting his card, the governor said without voters card, it would be impossible to change an incompetent government.
He said, “In a democracy, it is expected that when
you elect people in good faith, you elect them in trust. When you have voted for someone and for one reason, you are not satisfied, then you need the card to be able to fire the person, particularly, when the person makes himself available in the next election. If the person is not contesting and you feel strongly about the issue, you can decide to use your card to punish the political party that fields the person.
“So, if you do not have this card, you are not in a position to punish those who have not performed. So, if anybody says because this man did not perform well, therefore, I will not collect the voters card. That is a mistake. “This card is a horsewhip to punish anyone you elected that did not perform”, he said.
