Oyebanji declares holidays for PVC collection in Ekiti

The Governor of Ekiti State, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, has declared Tuesday, January 24, a work-free day in the state.

This is to enable eligible voters collect their Permanent Voters Cards (PVC) at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)’s designated centres. 

Governor Oyebanji, in a statement by his Special Adviser, Media, Mr. Yinka Oyebode, urges eligible voters to take advantage of the holiday and collect their PVC which is their licence to participate in the forthcoming general election.

Similarly, the National Assembly candidates of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) have described their purported suspension by the party as an “unnecessary distraction”.
