The National President of Legionaires Wives Association of Nigeria (LWAN) Hajiya Fatima Idris cautioned members of the association to secure their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) and shun the act of selling their votes to dubious politicians.
Idris gave the warning while commemorating army remembrance day and distributing wrappers to their members on Sunday in Bauchi.
She changed the Legionaires’ wives not to sell their votes to politicians who have been boasting to induce the electorate with money, detergents and other materials.
The president urged members to always keep the PVCs safe and ensure that the vote for credible candidates that would serve the country and the people as well free the country from economic quagmire.
“Vote for a trusted and detribalized Nigerian who has the experience and capacity to find lasting solutions to various challenges facing the country.
“Again don’t agree to sell your conscience for money or material things that would not last ,use the PVC wisely for electing credible leaders for our dear country,” he said.
The President also urged those who have not collected their PVC to use the window of opportunity created by the electoral body to do so.
Mrs Idris urged Govts at all levels, individuals and organisations to support the families of fallen heroes and the Nigerian legions.
Responding on behalf of Legionaires Wives Hajiya Sa’adatu Mohammed commended the doggedness of their President for fostering unity among their members.
She calls on members to always be available themselves during meetings and conferences for the cause of their well-being.
Mohammmed also called on the Bauchi state government to look into the plight of the legions and their families as well as the families of fallen heroes in the State.
