According to him, of the 74 million youths eligible to vote, 26 million of them are students and they are presently all back to school.
Rudeboy via the micro-blogging platform, Twitter said that most of these students registered during the Asuu strike when they were at home and now they are back to school, how are they expected to collect it?
The singer, who said the deadline for collection is just around the corner questioned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on why university students were still in schools rather than at home to collect their PVCs.
This is coming hours after the Lagos State Government declared four days as public holidays for public servants in the state to collect their PVC at their respective local government/local council development areas in the state.
Ths state Head of Service, Hakeem Muri-Okunola, made this known in a circular released on Wednesday to all workers.

Advocating for a similar course, Rudeboy took to Twitter to write “Out of the 74million youths eligible voters, 26million of them are students and they are all back in school, most of them registered during the Asuu strike .. it’s 10days remaining for collection. @inecnigeria why are students still in school by now?”
