EKO HOT BLOG reports that in Bekwara LGA of Cross River State, the Young Progressives Party (YPP) has conducted collection and awareness campaigns for Permanent Voter’s Cards (PVCs) in markets and public areas.
The event reached its zenith yesterday evening with enormous crowds of older people, young people, and market women swarming Bewo, a village next to Abuochiche, the LG headquarters, as well as Gakem, a well-known town where the first bullet that sparked the Nigerian civil war was fired.
Some attendees who brought PVCs displayed them and received encouragement.
Chairman of the party, Tony Bissong Attah said the public sensitisation was done to encourage people to register for their PVCs and those that had registered to go and collect theirs before the general election next year.
He said, “The objective of our PVC party is to sensitize our people on why they must register to get the new weapon (PVC) that will enable them to take back our country from the hands of the current ‘political bandits’ that have held our country down for too long.”
He disclosed that they have the youngest candidate for the state House of Assembly, Frederick Maximum.

The party encouraged the people, especially younger people from 18 years to proceed to INEC offices for massive registration.
He said, “We used the event to call on the people to shun vote-buying, cultism, and other social vices as well as vote against all those that have put them in their current situation.”
