The Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, on Tuesday praised Ekiti people for trooping out in numbers to collect their Permanent Voter Cards at the Independent National Electoral Commission designated centres.
Oyebanji, in a bid to ensure a large number of registered voters got their PVCs to participate in the general elections, had last weekend declared Tuesday work-free day.
Represented by his deputy, Mrs Monisade Afuye, during monitoring to ensure compliance with the state government’s directive for registrants to troop out and collect their PVCs, the governor harped on the need to redress the trend of citizens’ reluctance to exercise their franchise rights during elections in the state.
“We are moving round so that the purpose for which this holiday was declared will be met and we have no reason to regret, with the population of registrants that we are seeing at all INEC offices that I have visited.
