A call has been issued to Nigerians, particularly supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), across the country to work hard to obtain their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) in order to vote for the party in the upcoming general election.
WITHIN NIGERIA reports that the Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Organisation made the passionate appeal on Saturday in Abuja in a statement issued by its Spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan.
According to the organization, voters should take advantage of the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) new deadline extension.
WITHIN NIGERIA yesterday, reported that INEC had extended the deadline for collecting PVC by another week.
The commission made this known in a statement issued by Okoye on Saturday.
Remember that the electoral umpire previously set the collection deadline for Sunday, January 29, 2023.
However, following a meeting on Saturday, January 28th, Okoye stated that the commission has extended the deadline by seven days to ensure that registered voters have ample time to collect their PVCs before the upcoming election.
The card, according to Ologbondiyan, is the key to their active participation in the voting process, which will usher in a new set of leaders on February 25, 2023.
He said;
The campaign urges Nigerians to note that their only chance of expelling the insensitive, corrupt and vicious All Progressives Congress (APC), that has brought monumental anguish and pains to our country in the last seven and half years, is by collecting their PVCs and voting for Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to instate a purposeful leadership and commence the onerous task of rebuilding our nation.
Our Campaign appreciates the tremendous support, contributions and solidarity by the overwhelming majority of Nigerians towards Atiku Abubakar in furtherance of their consensus that Atiku is the candidate with the desired experience, capacity, competence, integrity and national acceptability to lead our nation out of the abyss in which she has been sunk by the APC.
All eligible Nigerians, irrespective of ethnic, religious, sectional or even political affiliations must therefore rise to the occasion, collect their PVCs, go the polls, elect Atiku Abubakar and defend their votes as a patriotic duty to redeem and rescue our nation at this critical time.
Atiku/Okowa Campaign stands with Nigerians in charging INEC to put all measures in place to ensure a free, fair, transparent and credible electoral process that will be a reflection of the Will of the people as expressed at the ballot.
It is imperative to state that Nigerians are expressing their Will towards Atiku Abubakar and this tide is very clear to all.
Our campaign, therefore, urges President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure that all institutions charged with the responsibilities of delivering credible polls to Nigerians deliver on their respective mandates in the collective interest of our nation.
The Atiku/Okowa Campaign counsels the APC and its Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to read the handwriting on the wall and eat the humble pie by apologizing to the nation, accept their general rejection and concede defeat ahead of the presidential election.
