Eid-el-Kabir: Etsu Nupe urges District heads to mobilise subjects to get PVC

The Etsu Nupe, Alhaji Yahaya Abubakar has urged District heads and other stakeholders in the area to mobilise their subjects to register in the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) to enable them exercise their right during the 2019 general elections and beyond.

Alhaji Abubakar made the call in his Eid-el-Kabir Sallah message to the people in Bida praying ground on Tuesday.

The Etsu Nupe and Chairman Niger state Council of Chiefs says the Permanent Voter Card ( PVC), is the only power the electorate can use  to vote the credible candidates of their choices, ”The PVC is a very potent weapon to either vote in or vote out any candidates seeking to occupy any elective offices.

“Without it, one would not be able to exercise his due constitutional responsibility of casting his or her vote in the nation’s electoral process.”

The Monarch therefore admonished the people of the state and indeed Nigerians to strive to collect the PVCs as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), is still distributing the cards .

He reiterated the importance of the voter card, saying it could not be over-emphasised in the socio-economic development of the country, hence the need for eligible sons and daughters of the area to register.

He added that “as the nation’s general elections draw closer, I appeal to village heads, district heads and other stakeholders to mobilize eligible voters to register and get their voter cards so as not to get disenfranchised in the 2019 general elections and beyond.

Abubakar then appealed to Nigerians to shun all acts capable of breaching peace and unity calling on Muslims across the country to use the opportunity provided by the Eid- el-Kabir celebration to rebuild the fabric of national unity and reaffirm Nigeria’ s common destiny as an indivisible entity .

The Royal Father called on citizens to build bridges of brotherhood to harness the benefits of earthly life and the ultimate purpose of the nation’s unity.
