The All Progressives Congress, Northern Women Caucus has appealed to the womenfolk who are yet to register for their Permanent Voters Cards (PVC) to do so before the closing date.
The leaders of the group made the call on Friday in Lafia at the inauguration of advocacy to mobilize women of Northern extraction to get their PVCs ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Mrs. Zainab Ibrahim, deputy National Woman Leader said the advocacy became imperative because without PVC nobody would be allowed to participate in the process of electing a new crop of leaders in 2023.
“It is also aimed at sensitising women to desist from election violence and contribute towards electing candidates of their choices in 2023,” the National Deputy Woman Leader added.
Mrs. Zainab Ibrahim called on Nigerians to vote for Bola Tinubu, APC Presidential candidate given his performance while a governor of Lagos State.
She explained that Tinubu had done well as a governor and if elected as the next President, he would transform the country, fix the security, and make the economy of the country the strongest in Africa.
Zainab Ibrahim also called on the people of Nasarawa State to reelect Gov. Abdullahi Sule for a second term given his achievements in the last three years.
Zarah Audu, North-Central Woman Leader of APC called on women and other Nigerians to register and collect their PVCs to enable them vote in the forthcoming election.
