The Chairperson of the Bauchi State Independent Electoral Commission, Jummai Abubakar, has urged residents of the state to take advantage of the ongoing Permanent Voter Cards registration exercise to enable them to participate fully in the forthcoming elections.
Abubakar gave the charge on Tuesday during a sensitisation visit to Dass Local Government Area of the state.
She explained that the essence of the exercise was to create awareness among the electorate that voter registration is currently ongoing nationwide.
According to her, “It is expected that all eligible voters should obtain their PVCs to allow them to participate fully in the upcoming general election in the country. It is a civic responsibility of every Nigerian to exercise their right during elections, and the only way is to obtain PVCs.”
The SIEC chairperson commended Governor Bala Mohammed for giving her the opportunity to serve under his administration, assuring that she would deploy her wealth of experience to tackle voter apathy through advocacy visits to local government chairmen, religious leaders, and traditional rulers.
In his remarks, the Chairman of Dass Local Government, Comrade Mohammed Jibo, who was represented by the Director of Administration and General Services, Bala Duguri, expressed appreciation to the commission for the sensitisation visit.
He pledged to embark on grassroots mobilisation to ensure maximum participation in the exercise and further promised the council’s support in the areas of sensitisation and mobilisation of eligible voters.
on September 15 report that a support group for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election, under the platform BTO4PBAT2027, had urged youths in the South-West to register and collect their Permanent Voter Cards ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The call comes as the Independent National Electoral Commission recently commenced its nationwide Continuous Voter Registration exercise to ensure wider participation in the polls.
