2023: Katsina community leader urges eligible voters to collect PVC
Usman Bello, the district head of Ketare in the Kankara Local Government Area of Katsina State, has urged eligible voters to obtain their Permanent Voter Card (PVC) in preparations for the 2023 general elections.
Mr Bello made the call when the electoral officer in charge of the area, Yunusa Abdu, paid him a courtesy visit to his palace in Ketare on Sunday.
The district head, also the Kanwa Katsina, urged his subjects to take advantage of the time extension by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to collect their PVCs.
He said that PVC is the only weapon that a citizen can exercise their right to vote for the right candidate, and pledged that traditional rulers would sensitise and mobilise their subjects on the importance of obtaining voter cards.
Earlier, Mr Abdu said that he was at the district head’s palace to seek his support in mobilising adults and those that attained eligible voting age, to register and obtain their PVCs.
He also said that those who lost their cards, changed voting units or relocated would be entertained in the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise.
