“Stop looking to ANYONE to ACT for YOU. It is now time to ACT for your own sake. Don’t tweet at me to act. YOU have the power to act. ACT.” - Oby Ezekwesili (Former Minister of Education)
Dear Active Citizen,
Yesterday, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Kano State, Ambassador Zango Abdu declared an alarming 60% of the Permanent Voters' Card that are yet to be collected in his state.
Uncollected PVCs are no better than citizens who didn't register to vote! Rant but act! Why bother discussing the menu, if you are going to eat whatever is served to you by others?
Get your PVC today!
CSOs Call for Further Extension of PVC Collection at Ward Level
Situation Room Nigeria has called on INEC to further extend ward-level collection of PVCs until February 5th 2023 to enable more people collect their cards with ease and deploy more staff to the ward centres to ease the distribution of PVCs.
This will also enable INEC attend to complaints arising from unavailability of PVCs for some new registrants. Read more.
