According to reports, Samson Itodo has advocated for electoral reforms in Nigeria, including the removal of the Permanent Voter Card (PVC) as requirement for voting. Itodo has argued that the 
PVC requirement disenfranchises many eligible voters, particularly those who do not have access to the necessary identification documents.
He has suggested that the government could explore other methods of verifying voters' identities, such as biometric data or mobile phone numbers, to ensure the integrity of the electoral process. Itodo has also called for the establishment of a more independent electoral commission and increased transparency in the process of voter registration and vote counting.
It is worth noting that the PVC requirement has been a controversial issue in Nigeria, with some arguing that it is necessary to prevent electoral fraud and others claiming that it excludes marginalized groups from participating in the democratic process. The debate over electoral reforms in Nigeria is ongoing, and different stakeholders continue to propose and discuss different solutions.
