House of Representatives Candidate under the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC) for Chanchaga Federal Constituency of Niger State, Hon. Adamu Abubakar (Salami), has called on youths and all eligible voters to take advantage of the ongoing Continuous Voters Registration (CVR) exercise to obtain or update their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
Speaking to newsmen in Minna on Friday, Adamu Abubakar stated that meaningful participation in democracy begins with voter registration to enable them choose leaders of their choice which can surely influence the outcome of elections as your voice matters.
He described the PVC as more than an electoral document, noting that it is ‘the key that unlocks every citizen’s constitutional right to detemine the direction of governance in the state and country.
Adamu Abubakar appealed to first-time voters, students, artisans, entrepreneurs and other young people across Chanchaga Federal Constituency to embrace the registration exercise as a civic responsibility rather than waiting until election campaigns commenced.
He then urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure that all eligible voters that turnout for the exercise are captured and duly registered with the issuance of their voters card ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The House of Representatives candidate further urged the commission to address the issue associated with the online registration of voters card by eliminating the difficulty associated with the process to encourage all eligible voters to be registered.
He expressed confidence that the outcome of the exercise will be success with the level of cooperation of the general public, the commission as well as security agents.
