Prince Nelson Enwerem, a former BBNaija housemate, has sparked controversy by urging artists and other Nigerian entertainers to stage an event in which Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) will be used instead of admittance tickets.
According to him, this move will compel young people to obtain their PVCs and vote in the upcoming election next year.
He tweeted: “Scenes where Naija artists come together and host free shows all over the country and the only gate fee is to show your PVC… another way we can push the “get your PVC agenda.

“It’ll really work wonders in getting our message out there beyond SM, but then what do I know?”
His post sparked arguments, with some arguing that even if the musicians did so, it would not guarantee that people would vote in the elections, while others maintained that the act would go a long way toward insuring political involvement among the country’s youth.
Also, there were those who commented that the selfishness of many entertainers will not allow them to see the advantages of the advice of the former television reality star.
