As the 2023 general election draws near, Abia Online Media Practitioners Association of Nigeria (OMPAN) has called on Abians to obtain their Permanent Voter’s Card so as to elect credible candidates in the 2023 general elections.
The Association made the call on Sunday in a press statement issued to newsmen in Umuahia jointly signed by the Chairman, Chief Paddy Anyatonwu and Secretary of the Association, Steve Unegbu.
OMPAN highlighted the need for Abians to go for their PVCs, stressing that voting credible candidates would ensure the dreams and aspirations of Abians are attained.
The Association pointed out that the process of voting credible people can only be done by those with PVC, highlighting the need for Abians to go all out and get theirs.
The release noted that it has become imperative for all Abians who had exhibited voter apathy in the past, to take advantage of the forthcoming general elections to vote credible leaders to change their narratives, reminding them that they cannot sit on the fence and expect that needed change.
The statement reads, “Everyone who is 18 and above should get their PVCs because it is very important in shaping our future and those of our children. The forthcoming elections give us the right to exercise our rights as citizens”.
OMPAN urged Abians to participate in the election process, emphasizing that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had improved the electoral process hence, rigging and other malpractices have been reduced.
