The National Orientation Agency (NOA) has urged citizens in Ebonyi to hasten up and collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to vote for the rightful candidate of their choice during the polls.

Desmond Onwo, the director of NOA in Ebonyi, said on Tuesday in Abakaliki that PVC remained the gateway to choosing the leaders in the forthcoming elections.

Mr Onwo also called on traditional rulers across the 13 local government areas of the state to enlighten their people, especially the youth, on the right to their PVCs and steer clear of violence.

“We should go and collect our PVC in order to vote for the right candidate and not killings of fellow citizens,” the NOA director stated.

The director described the violence as a threat to development, urging citizens to be law-abiding during and after the elections.

“Vote, but don’t kill. Vote for good governance and a better Nigeria. This election will come and go,” he added. “Say no to violence. We must know the need for law-abiding and victory will be for everyone.”
