He said this is necessary to put a stop to the hardships some Nigerians are currently going through.
According to the elder statesman, if political office holders know that with PVCs, Nigerians can vote them out, they will sit up and Nigerians will enjoy the dividends of democracy.
In a statement in Lagos, Onitiri, a democrat that fought for democracy in Nigeria and who obtained the historic June 12, 1993 judgment that compelled the INEC to hold the election, later annulled by General Ibrahim Babangida, said it became expedient for all and sundry to have their PVCs to use their power to effect changes in governance.
Onitiri a seasoned surveyor and valuer, cautioned: “Nigerians must be ready to express their desire for change and insist that their votes count. Power belongs to the people and firmly rests on the voters.
He also called on INEC to cooperate with the people and ensure that they issue out PVCs to the people with less stress and hustle.
