Revd. Uma Ukpai of the 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.
Ukpai made the announcement during a church service in Uyo,
saying 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
to collect their PVCs to enable them to chose their leaders through the polls.
The cleric 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 seriously because we must rise
up and protect our future.”
The clergyman urged politicians to eschew violence during
electioneering.
