Presidential aspirant, Fela Durotoye, has advised Nigerian married women to deny their husbands sex if they refuse to get their permanent voter’s card (PVC) ahead of the 2019 election.
Durotoye made the statement while making a presentation on The Platform in Lagos on Tuesday May 1st.
“We need to get our PVCs. PVC is not a nice thing to have, it’s a need thing to have if you want a future that you can choose. In fact, for me PVC is not just permanent voter’s card, it’s the power to vote your choice. I have started a little movement where I’m asking every young lady to insist on asking any toaster for their PVC first. No PVC, no toasting. More than that, I’m working to collaborate with a few key people to ensure that every married woman whose husband does not have a PVC by July 1st, they’ll lock up. No PVC, no jangilova .” he said
Speaking further, Durotoye urges Nigerians to get more involved in politics and join political parties to be actively involved in politics.
“More importantly, you also need to go and join a party but not just any party; prefer to join a party where you’ll have voting rights as a member.
“If you cannot get voting right as a member, work very hard to become an executive and a delegate and then work to change the constitution of those parties. Until parties have internal democracy, we don’t have internal democracy, we have selectocracy.”
He further called for more youth participation in the country’s electoral processes as well as putting themselves forward to contest for elective positions.
“The third one is please volunteer for INEC, volunteer to be campaign staff. I don’t think political experience is required for governance, I think leadership expertise is required.
“And young people have expertise; they’ve run businesses, done great things in media, in civil service, in banking; young people are doing great things.”
