Uduaghan tasks Deltans on collection of PVCs

BY ABU IDRUSU:

Delta State Governor, Emmanuel Uduaghan, has called on the people of the state to take the forthcoming collection of permanent voters’ cards exercise serious. This is with a charge on top government officials and party leaders to be in the vanguard of the sensitisation campaign.

Uduaghan also commended sensitisation meeting with relevant stakeholders on senatorial district basis, which was to ensure that voters collect their permanent cards when the distribution exercise kicks off on August 15.

In a meeting with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stakeholders from Delta Central in Warri on Monday, Uduaghan stressed that the collection of permanent voters’ card was as important as the registration exercise.

“The collection of permanent voters’ card is a very serious exercise because your wining any election, whether local government, state or federal, depends on your voters card. So it is for us to mobilise our people, our community people, our families, our party members to go and collect their permanent voters card.

“I expect that the party at the senatorial level will also meet with the local chairman, council chairmen and map out strategies on how to ensure that people go and collect their voters card,” he said.

The governor, who explained that the meeting was also to rob minds on the forthcoming local government election in the state, commended the peaceful approach that the various aspirants and their supporters have adopted so far and urged them to continue to maintain the peace.

He expressed the hope that the series of party activities being undertaken would produce credible candidates that would not only fly the PDP’s flag in the forthcoming polls but also win both as chairmen and councillors.

He told the party leaders, aspirants and stakeholders that it was possible to have a consensus candidate where that was the opinion of the majority.

Uduaghan, who observed that PDP was the only party currently mobilising for the forthcoming local government polls in the state, reiterated that his party was working hard to “win and we shall win freely and squarely.
