The APC South-West Youth Leader, Barr. Adesuyi Daramola, has flagged off a 30-day Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC) collection campaign and inaugurated a PVC Collection Support Team to drive awareness and encourage eligible voters across the region to collect their cards ahead of the 2027 general elections. Speaking at the flag-off in Lagos, Daramola expressed concern over the slow pace of PVC collection and stressed the need for sustained grassroots engagement across the six South-West states. He said the campaign is open to all eligible Nigerians, not just APC members, and is aimed at encouraging active participation in the democratic process.
According to him, the newly inaugurated Support Team will take the awareness drive to communities at the grassroots and encourage eligible voters to see PVC collection as a civic responsibility rather than a partisan exercise. He urged Nigerians who have completed their voter registration to go and collect their cards, describing it as an essential step to exercising their right to vote. “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,” Daramola said.
He also charged young Nigerians to move beyond online political interest to meaningful civic participation, noting that their involvement in elections will shape the country’s leadership and future. “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 campaign is expected to boost grassroots mobilisation and voter participation across the South-West as activities gather momentum ahead of the 2027 polls, in line with the APC’s broader mobilisation efforts in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid.
