The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) has advised Christians to obtain their Permanent Voters Card (PVCs) ahead of the 2023 general elections.

In a statement in Jos by the Chairman of the Fellowship in Plateau, Rev. Steven Dangana, June 26 has been declared as “PVC Sunday,” and members would be expected to attend church service with their PVCs that day.

The chairman explained that the decision to declare the PVC Sunday was taken at its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting on June 16 in Lagos.

Dangana called on heads of churches to mobilise their members who were eligible, to register for their PVCs.

He said the leadership of the Fellowship had constituted a special committee  to consult widely and advise it on the direction to go in the forthcoming general polls.
