“No PVC, No Church” – Catholic Priest Sends Back Church Members Without Voters Card (Details below)

A video that has gone viral on social media shows a Catholic priest asking members without Permanent Voters Cards (PVC) to return home. The video has been shared by multiple users on the micro-blogging platform, Twitter, and also on YouTube.

“From today, if you are coming for mass, carry your PVC, if you don’t have your PVC, don’t bother coming.

“Because there is no point in having Christians fill the church, but during the election, we have only a handful of them go out to vote. “So, it means our number, our population means nothing. We want Christians to take their responsibility and their role seriously.”

The priest then instructed those with their PVC to come into the church and those without to go back home. Edujandon.com cannot verify where the incident took place, but many commenters on social media said the church is in northern Nigeria.

Meanwhile, as Nigerians prepare for the 2023 polls, the Gina Unimke and Trisha Shine foundation, GUTS, has launched a massive plan ahead of the exercise.
