The Ogun State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mr Niyi Ijalaye made the call while speaking with Radio Nigeria in Abeokuta.

Mr Ijalaye said there were more than Six hundred and fifty thousand Permanent Voters Cards, PVCs, obtainable across the state, urging political parties, religious and community leaders among other interest groups to rise to the responsibility of mobilizing the people to collect their PVCs. 

Mr Ijalaye said the PVCs of about twenty one thousand eligible voters captured during the first and second quarters of the ongoing Continuous Voters Registration exercise had also been printed and ready for collection, with a call on all registered Voters to visit the nearest local Government offices of the INEC to collect the cards. 

He explained that more registration centres were created across polling units and local government areas of the state to enhance registration and revalidation of Voters cards as part of efforts by INEC to conduct credible, fair and inclusive elections for Nigerians.

The INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner while pointing out that registration, once done, remained valid, also advised members of the public to make use of the Commission’s website for further information and online registration with the assurance that the commission would ensure strict adherence to principles.
