The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign
council in the south-west has asked governors elected on the platform of the
party to declare Tuesday as work-free to enable residents to collect their
permanent voters’ cards (PVCs).
The council said this in a communique signed by Rotimi
Akeredolu, coordinator of the campaign council and Ondo governor, and Isaac
Kekemeke, deputy coordinator.
The council said it agreed at the end of its meeting on the
need for south-west to vote massively for Bola Tinubu, candidate of the party–
hence, the need for PVC collection.
It asked the national working committee (NWC) of the party to look into allegations of some leaders engaging in anti-party activities.
“Council praises its
chairman, governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu SAN, CON for his leadership and
candour. It notes with satisfaction his improved state of health and prayed for
his speedy recovery and continued service to Ondo state and Nigeria as a
nation,” the communique reads.
“Council decries the low rate of collection of PVC and
announces the immediate launch of ‘Operation collect Your PVC’ across all the
states in the south-west.
“In furtherance to the foregoing, the council enjoins
governors of all APC-controlled states to declare Tuesday, January 24, 2023, as
a work-free day to aid the collection of PVC.
“Council directs the
setting up of polling units mobilization committees across all the south-west
states and also decides that all party leaders and government functionaries at
the federal and state levels should return immediately to their respective
local governments, wards, and units to lead the campaigns and voter
mobilization activities.
“Council urges governors of APC-controlled states in the
Southwest to deploy all state-owned mass media machineries towards
mobilisation, voter education, and PVC collection.
“Council appeals to PCC to urgently release funds to all
campaign directorates, most especially, the youth directorate in order to
enhance the campaign and mobilisation activities.”
