The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party have alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) weaponised poverty in the country and was behind buying of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) from registered voters to engage in electoral malpractice in the 2023 general elections.

Both PDP and LP made the allegations in reaction to the alarm raised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that some politicians are buying PVCs from unsuspecting Nigerians.
