The masquerade continued saying:
"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

"So the gods will vote too ."

"Na when peole bring fowl before dem gods chop, the shege touch dem gods too so dem ghat vote make their ministry dey move "
@SageKristen said:

Peter Obi of the Labour Party called on Nigerians, especially the new voters to go and collect their Permanent Voters' Card.
The former governor of Anambra state also urged the citizens to ensure the exercise of their civic right by going out en masse to cast their vote.
According to Obi, it is important that all voters stay back after the exercise to protect their votes by ensuring it is counted and duly recorded.
"I've read manifestos of parties, Peter Obi's own stands out," Tinubu's former campaign DG tells Nigerians
With anxiety and hope rising ahead of the 2023 general election, politicians have continued to jump ship depending on what party or individual they support.
One of those politicians is the recently resigned director-general of the directorate of civil society organisations of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, Naja'atu Muhammad.
Since her resignation as a lead campaigner for Bola tinubu and from the ruling party, Muhammad has continued to highlight reasons she dumped the APC and the former Lagos state governor.
