Kwara State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed has urged the people of the state to obtain their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) to enable them elect candidates of their choice during the 2019 general elections.
Ahmed made the call during a courtesy visit by the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari at the Government House.
“It is the civic responsibility of every eligible citizen to ensure collection of his or her PVC.
“Collection of PVC is a right and the only tool to elect people who can deliver on campaign promises.
“Ours is peaceful and grassroots politics where we allow our people to take decisions on their own and encourage inclusive politics,” Ahmed added.
Ahmed also warned against politicising the Offa bank robbery incident, urging the police to follow due process to ensure that all those involved were brought to justice.
Sulu-Gambari, in his remarks, praised the state government for its efforts on security and other sectors of the economy.
