Get Guardian on GoogleThe All Progressives Congress (APC) South-West Youth Leader, Adesuyi Daramola, has launched a 30-day campaign to mobilise eligible Nigerians across the region to collect their Permanent Voter’s Cards (PVCs) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Daramola, who inaugurated a PVC Collection Support Team at the flag-off ceremony in Lagos, said the initiative was aimed at addressing the slow pace of PVC collection through sustained public awareness and grassroots mobilisation across the six South-West states.
In a statement signed by Remilekun Enitan Oyelowo, Media and Publicity Director, Office of the APC South-West Youth Leader, Daramola stressed that the campaign was not restricted to APC members but was designed to encourage all eligible Nigerians, irrespective of political affiliation, to collect their cards and participate in the democratic process.
“This campaign is not just for APC members. It is for every eligible Nigerian, regardless of political affiliation. Everyone deserves the opportunity to collect their PVC and exercise their constitutional right to vote. This goes beyond party politics; it is about encouraging citizens to participate actively in the electoral process,” he said.
Daramola said the newly inaugurated support team would drive public awareness, reach communities at the grassroots and encourage eligible voters to regard PVC collection as a civic responsibility rather than a partisan exercise.
He urged Nigerians who had completed their voter registration to collect their cards, describing the process as an essential step towards exercising their voting rights.
“Our goal is to encourage young people and all eligible Nigerians to fulfil their civic responsibility by collecting their PVCs. Having registered to obtain a PVC, collecting it should not become a challenge,” he added.
The APC South-West youth leader also urged young Nigerians to translate their interest in politics into meaningful civic participation, noting that their involvement in elections was crucial to determining the country’s leadership and future.
“Elections are not just about the government; they concern every one of us. Our participation has a significant impact on the kind of government we have,” Daramola said.
The 30-day campaign is expected to strengthen grassroots mobilisation and encourage greater voter participation across the South-West ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The initiative also aligns with the APC’s broader mobilisation efforts in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid.
