The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, Hon. Kolawole Babatunde, has called on the people of Ondo State, particularly members and supporters of the APC, to take advantage of the ongoing voter card collection exercise by ensuring that they collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) before the exercise closes.
Hon. Babatunde emphasised that PVC collection is a crucial step towards effective participation in the democratic process, urging eligible voters to visit the appropriate INEC offices and designated collection centres in their respective local government areas and wards to collect their cards.
The Chairman noted that the party’s aspiration to achieve its one-million-vote target for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other APC candidates begins with grassroots mobilisation, voter awareness, and the active participation of eligible voters. He therefore urged party leaders, ward executives, youth groups, women groups, and other stakeholders to intensify sensitisation efforts across the 18 local government areas of the state.
According to the Chairman, the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Ease Agenda of Ondo State Governor, His Excellency, Dr. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, have made civic participation an important aspect of democratic engagement. He encouraged eligible voters to exercise their democratic rights by ensuring that they possess their PVCs and participate in the electoral process.
Hon. Babatunde Kolawale further stressed that voter education and PVC collection should not be left to party leaders alone, but should be embraced as a collective responsibility by all eligible citizens who wish to make their voices heard through the ballot.
He called on APC members across the state to demonstrate commitment to the party’s mobilisation objectives by taking the message to their families, friends, neighbours and communities, while encouraging eligible voters to complete the collection process before the deadline announced by INEC.
The Chairman, Hon. Kolawole reaffirmed the Ondo APC’s commitment to grassroots mobilisation, political participation and the strengthening of democratic institutions, noting that every eligible voter’s participation matters in shaping the future of the state and the country.
He concluded by urging all eligible voters to act promptly, collect their PVCs, and remain actively involved in the democratic process.
