‘Wahala for BVAS that'll capture them’ - Reaction as masquerades show their PVCs, drum support for Peter Obi

On Saturday, January 28, a Twitter user, @itzz_blitz1, shared a video clip of three masquerades drumming their support for the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.

The masquerades while sitting on the bare floor urged Nigerians to ensure their go and collect their Permanent Voters' Card which will enable them to cast their votes on the days of the elections.

Chanting songs in the local Igbo dialect, the lead masquerade of the group showered appreciation on the former Anambra state governor who is said is on his way to victory.

Also noting that the world has asked him to greet Peter Obi as they are solidly behind him.

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."

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.

A tweep, Mavis Ikpeme said: "So the gods will vote too ."

Another tweep, @StillBuggie said: "Hunger don carry so many go that spirit side. Everybody dey feel am now."

@SammieYong believes the gods have seen 'shege' and need to do the needful by exercising their civic right to vote. He said: "Na when peole bring fowl before dem gods chop, the shege touch dem gods too so dem ghat vote make their ministry dey move "
