“But I am shouting on top of my voice asking that despite all the support, everyone should go, find and collect their PVCs.
“I know you’ll ask if the gods also have their PVCs (referring to itself).”
Further showcasing its own PVC, the masquerade said:
“Look at me, if I as a god can have my PVC and hold it tightly, tell me why you should not have yours.”
Nigerians react
Reacting to the advice from the masquerade, many Nigerians said there would be trouble for the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) that will capture them as gods.
