Outrage as video shows alleged City Boys Movement members collecting PVC details in Lagos
A video showing alleged members of the City Boys Movement in a Lagos market collecting information from traders’ Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs, has sparked concerns about vote buying ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Members of the City Boys Movement, an APC-linked youth support group backing President Bola Tinubu‘s re-election bid, are seen in the footage allegedly registering people, believed to be market traders, by filling out membership forms while examining and apparently copying details from their PVCs.
This has triggered reactions on social media, with some Nigerians questioning why members of the group were collecting voters’ identification details and expressing concerns that the exercise could be connected to electoral manipulation.
Here are some reactions gathered by MEDIA TODAY:

@Dee_9889: “The City Boys Movement is reportedly collecting people’s PVCs and copying their VINS. @inecnigeria, doesn’t this amount to election rigging even before election day? If you have family in the villages, call and warn them not to hand over their PVC just so the VIN can be copied. People are giving out their PVCs simply because of the Umbrella. Can you imagine the level of poverty driving this?”
@_nonconformist1: “All these no go work. You people don’t know what’s coming.”
