The mother of Nigerian singer, Simi Kosoko, has taken to social media to lament the difficulty in collecting her Permanent Voters Card (PVC).

Naija News reports that there has been outrage online over the challenge of collecting the PVC and some Nigerians blame the officers of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the delay.

In a post shared on Twitter, Simi‘s mother said she applied for a transfer of the PVC, and the stress she was put through to get it was literally like giving her blood in exchange for it.

However, the joy of finally getting the PVC made her forget all the stress she had earlier gone through.
