Muhammadu Buhari, who revealed that he told them there was a God after losing three times at the supreme court in 2003, 2007, and 2011, added that God finally rescued him with the provision of permanent voters card, PVC, and he was subsequently declared the winner of the 2015 presidential election.
In his words: "I dared the legislators and ended up appearing three times before the Supreme Court. They chuckled at me, and I responded, 'God dey.' With my Permanent Voter Card (PVC), technology came to my rescue.
