  "account": "The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council (ADC-PCC) is urging all eligible Nigerians to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) ahead of the upcoming 2027 general elections. This call comes as the National Electoral Commission (INEC) begins the nationwide PVC collection exercise. ADC-PCC Director of Media and Publicity, Kola Ologbondiyan, stressed that no political party or individual should attempt to manipulate the electoral process or undermine the people's will. He dismissed claims that the results would not be counted and that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) would unfairly favor its candidates, describing such notions as \"deceitful and unattainable\".\n\nOlogbondiyan assured Nigerians that their voter's cards are their power and guarantee to vote in the upcoming election on January 16, 2027. He claimed that the narrative of results being manipulated is being spread by APC agents to instill fear and discourage voter participation. The ADC-PCC attributes this strategy to the APC's fear of losing to presidential candidate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who they believe cannot win a free, fair, and credible election due to the country's recent struggles with hunger, hardship, and insecurity. Ologbondiyan highlighted that safeguards against electoral manipulation have been strengthened, including the deployment of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), the INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV), and enhanced political awareness among Nigerians. The ADC-PCC calls upon traditional rulers, religious leaders, youth groups, women's organizations, and civil society bodies to mobilize individuals to collect their PVCs and encourages them to disregard any attempts to discourage them from exercising their democratic rights.",
