Uma Ukpai, a reverend and pastor in charge of Victory Cathedral Fellowship Center, Uyo, Akwa Ibom, has announced that his church would stop giving communion to members who are yet to collect their permanent voter cards (PVCs).
Ukpai made the announcement during a church service on Thursday, saying that it was unpatriotic for any Nigerian eligible voter not to participate in the electoral process.
He urged Nigerians to use the opportunity provided by the rescheduling of the election to obtain their PVCs in order to enable them chose their leaders through the poll.
“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,” he said.

“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 serious because we must rise up and protect our future.”
He appealed to politicians to eschew violence and caution their supporters.
