Rev. Uma Ukpai of Victory Cathedral Fellowship Center, Uyo, Akwa Ibom,
on Thursday announced that the church would stop communion for members
who had not collected their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
Ukpai
made the announcement during a church service in Uyo and said that it
was unpatriotic for any Nigerian eligible voter not to participate in
the electoral process.
He called on Nigerians to use the
opportunity provided by the rescheduling of the elections by the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to collect their PVCs
to enable them chose their leaders through the polls.
He said,
“The 2015 general election is too important for a Nigerian of voting age
not to participate in electing
their political leaders for the next
four years.
‘’If you are a true member of this fellowship and you
have not collected your PVC, know that you will not partake in our
communion service.
‘’We must take this election serious because we must rise up and protect our future.”
