2027 ELECTION: AKINLOYE URGES IBADAN NORTH-EAST RESIDENTS TO COLLECT PVCs, RELEASES WARD-BY-WARD CENTRES
Hon. Abiola Abdulrazaq Akinloye, the Allied Peoples’ Movement (APM) candidate for the Oyo State House of Assembly representing Ibadan North-East Constituency 02, has urged eligible voters across the constituency to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) ahead of the forthcoming elections.
Akinloye called on residents to take advantage of the scheduled collection exercise, which runs from Friday, October 9, to Thursday, October 15, 2026, between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. daily, at designated centres across the constituency's 12 wards.
He emphasised the importance of voter participation in Nigeria's democratic process, encouraging eligible residents who have yet to collect their PVCs to visit their respective ward collection centres within the stipulated period.
According to him, the Permanent Voter Card remains an essential document for eligible citizens seeking to exercise their constitutional right to vote and participate in choosing their representatives.
The APM candidate further encouraged residents to verify their respective collection centres and make the necessary arrangements to collect their cards before the exercise ends.
