In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Richard Olatunde, Akeredolu urged eligible voters to prioritize collecting PVCs so they can exercise their right to vote in the upcoming elections.

“The importance of the forthcoming elections can not be overemphasised. There is an urgent need for us to address the low rate of PVCs collection in the Southwest.

“Beyond partisan lines, it is imperative that our people understand that the PVC is their license to enthrone desired political leadership.

“We are constrained to take this decision to enable our people take this advantage and collect their PVCs. It’s important that we all exercise our civic responsibilities,” the statement read.
