2023: Why Collection Of PVC Is Critical, Obi Explains

Listen to article

Ahead of next month’s Presidential elections, the Candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi has offered reasons why the collection of the Permanent Voters Cards (PVC) and voting in the February 25, 2023 election is critical to Nigeria and Nigerians.

In a special broadcast he made via social media which was obtained by The Eastern Updates, on Thursday, Obi stated that every Nigerian youth and elder alike must endeavour to collect the PVC because with­out it what the youths and many other concerned persons desire for Nigeria this year may not be realisable.

According to Obi, PVC must be collected because it’s only with it in our hands, that the process of taking back Nigeria and rebuild­ing it can be said to have begun.

‘This is a critical and existen­tial election for Nigeria and all of us must endeavour to vote and we can only vote if we have our PVC.’

The LP flag bearer, one of the frontline candidates in the Febru­ary 25, 2023 poll reminded Nigeri­ans that the collection of the PVC ends On Sunday January 22 2023.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC had opened the collection of PVCs at ward level today Friday, January 6, 2023 to end on 15, January 2023 after which the collection contin­ues at the INEC offices at local Government levels until January 22, 2023.

In the meantime, the Labour Par­ty Candidate has continued to receive the support and positive rating of prominent Nigerians.

After the three revered elder statesmen, former President Olusegun Obasanjo and first Republic Minister of Informa­tion and the leader of the South South people Edwin K. Clark and the leader of the umbrella Yoru­ba Group, the Afenifere, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, endorsed him, anoth­er foremost jurist and Founder and Chancellor of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, Chief Afe Babalola (SAN) has said that the presidential candidate of the La­bour Party, (LP), Obi is the most qualified person to succeed Pres­ident Muhammadu Buhari. The highly revered Northern Muslim Cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi had also held similar view.

According to Babalola, the only people opposed to Obi are those who participated in plung­ing the country into the state of underdevelopment it is at present.

‘Unless you are part of the old system that has brought us to where we are, there is no way you will oppose a young man like Mr. Peter Obi, an untainted, young, ed­ucated man with ideas from being the president of Nigeria,‘ he said

Babalola, who will mark 60 years of his call to the Bar as a lawyer this year, said he and Obi share a common passion in their love for quality education.
