  "account": "The Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) in Katsina State has cautioned eligible voters against selling their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) prior to the 2027 general elections. Alhaji Salimu Lawal Boyi, the state chairman of the Accord Party and IPAC chairman, made this warning during a meeting with political party chairmen in Katsina. Boyi urged residents to safeguard their voting rights ahead of the upcoming elections. He expressed concern that some individuals were visiting homes, particularly targeting women, offering promises of assistance like empowerment in exchange for their voter cards. Boyi urged the public not to relinquish their voting rights for promises of support that might not come to fruition. He emphasized that the PVC is an essential tool for citizens to engage in elections and hold political leaders accountable. IPAC’s message to the people was that they should gather in large numbers to obtain their PVCs, considering them as the sole instrument citizens have to defend themselves against poor governance. Boyi cautioned against engaging with individuals who promise empowerment in exchange for voter cards, as these arrangements could result in citizens losing their right to freely choose their leaders.",
