Registered voters in the Southeast Zone have been urged to collect their permanent voter’s cards ahead of the 2023 General Elections.
Speaking in Awka the Vice President of Ọhaneze Ndigbo worldwide, Chief Damian Okeke Ogene expressed worry that less than two months to the elections, many registered voters are yet to collect their Permanent Voters Cards.
Chief Okeke Ogene said that everybody above eighteen years should see participation in the electoral process as a civic responsibility and pointed out that collection of their PVCs would ensure that they equip themselves properly to take ownership of the country and contribute in enthroning good and people-oriented governance.
He urged the governments of the South East Zone, traditional rulers and Presidents General of town unions to put in place measures that would make presentation of PVCs a requisite for certain privileges including empowerment programmes.
Chief Okeke Ogene called on the Federal and State governments to provide a level playing ground for all political parties and their candidates to campaign in any part of the country.
Also speaking, the National Patron and member of the Board of Trustees Anambra Demand for Soludo, Chief Henry Igboeli, urged community leaders and other stakeholders to join hands in mobilising registered voters in their areas to collect their PVC to enable them participate actively in the elections.
Chief Igboeli noted that failure to collect the Permanent Voter’s Cards would further undermine the general efforts towards enthroning people-oriented administration that would bring a new dawn in the country and use available resources to provide opportunities for collective welfare of Nigerians.
He commended members of the Anambra State House of Assembly for accelerated passage of the state 2023 Budget Estimate, which he noted would enable Governor Chukwuma Soludo to sustain the present high tempo of delivering democracy dividends to Ndi Anambra.
