Citizens and residents of Enugu State have been called upon to maximize the opportunity of the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) and collection of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) exercise, to equip themselves to retain good governance in the state.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the State, made the call at the grand finale of its sensitization campaign aimed at reversing voter apathy.

The party event which held at Amagunze, headquarters of Nkanu East Local Government, saw party leaders appealing to citizens to prioritize the collection of their PVCs, stressing that it is the instrument of power to decide who rules or represents them politically.

Enugu State was said to have recorded the least number in the exercise so far.

PDP sensitization train which moved round the entire local governments of the state before yesterday's grand finale, had earlier stopped at Agbani, headquarters of Nkanu West Local Government.

State Chairman of the party, Hon. Martin Chukwunweike, while addressing the people, emphasized the importance of voter participation, urging residents to use their PVCs to reward Governor Peter Mbah for his achievements across the state when the time comes.

Chukwunweike who was represented by his deputy, Steve Orurua, highlighted Mbah's strides in education, health, and infrastructure, including the establishment of smart schools and health centres across various wards.

The Governor he said has a vision for a rail transport project, which according to him, is reminiscent of the transformational spirit of the late Eastern Premier, Dr. Michael Okpara.

“The governor has bridged the gap between government and the governed through his people-centered policies,” he said, urging the people to obtain their PVCs ahead of 2027, to ensure good governance.

Chairman of Nkanu East LGA and leader of the Association of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON) in the state, Hon. Sydney Edeh, in his remarks stated that his council, once considered one of the most backward in Enugu, has now taken the lead in development under Mbah’s administration.

Also speaking, Special Adviser to the Governor on Political Matters, Chief Frank Anioma and the State PDP Publicity Secretary, Uche Obute, commended the council chairmen for mobilizing grassroots support and urged citizens to translate their voter registration into voting power in 2027.

They called on residents to get their PVCs and work for the re-election of Governor Mbah.
