“We are happy that such feats were accomplished by our member and we urge the people to judiciously utilise them,” he said.
He urged the people and Nigerians in general to procure their Permanent Voters Cards to ensure that credible leaders were elected in the 2023 general elections.
“It is constitutional for people to procure their PVCs and vote during elections and Ogah is also performing his constitutional obligation of enjoining the people to obtain such.
