A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Felix Awofisayo, has charged residents and indigenes of Osun to register and collect their permanent voters’ cards.

This is contained in a statement he issued and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday, in Ile-Ife.

He said those who have attained the voting age should avail themselves of the ongoing opportunity by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ahead of the upcoming governorship election in Osun.

“Osun residents and indigenes must understand that participation in any electoral process in our country today, requires the possession of the mandatory PVC,” he stated.

He, therefore, charged the APC leadership in the state to put all machineries in motion to encourage all those just attaining the voting age to go and register and obtain their PVCs ahead of the July 16 governorship election.
