The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun on Monday called on its supporters to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) before the collection deadline expired.

Mr Kunle Oyatomi, the APC Media spokesman, made the call in an interview with Newsmen in Osogbo.

He said some party supporters were yet to collect their PVCs, warning that delay in doing so might prevent them from participating in the upcoming general election.

Oyatomi said the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had called on the electorate to visit their offices across the country to collect their PVCs, but many turned deaf ears.

He said the PVCs remained the only means by which the electorate could exercise the right to vote for candidates of their choice.

“Without the PVC by INEC, there is no way they can cast their votes for our great party, APC.
“INEC has decentralised the system to make it easy for the electorate who cannot find their way to their state office for easy collection.

“So, I want to urge all supporters of APC in Osun to collect their PVCs without delay.
“Failure to collect such will be detrimental to their right to cast their votes and also denial of their fundamental human right.’’ Oyatomi said.

According to him, some people are yet to be registered with INEC and have been going to INEC offices to fruitlessly.

Oyatomi also called on INEC, security agencies and other stakeholders in the country to ensure that the election was peaceful.
