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.
The
cleric 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.
Ukpai
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.”
Ukpai urged politicians to eschew violence during electioneering. (NAN).
