The President of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Ayuba Wabba, has stressed the need for Nigerian workers to have Permanent Voter Card (PVC), for the February 2023 general election.
Wabba, in his New Year message to Nigerian workers and the masses, reiterated that “the PVC is our ticket to the Nigeria of our dream”.
He urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other stakeholders, including security agencies, to uphold the highest standards of professional ethics in order to ensure free and fair elections.
“It must be one man, one woman, one vote. INEC must ensure that politicians play by the rules, and that the logistics blues that dogged past elections are addressed in the 2023 general poll”, he stated.
He added that, “Efforts must be made to ensure that the BVAS system is effectively deployed as the death-knell to vote-buying and election rigging across Nigeria. The 2023 general election has delivered in our hands the golden opportunity to take back our country and set it on the path of sustainable development”.
The NLC helmsman hinted that preparations for NLC 13th National Delegates Conference is on course, saying, “We trust that Nigerian workers and pensioners will use the occasion to consolidate on the gains achieved by successive leadership and elect leaders committed to strengthening frameworks that undergird our struggle.
“We appreciate the solidarity of Nigerian workers and people in our quest to defend the rights of the working class and the downtrodden in our society”.
