A property consultant and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Mr. Kolade Dukeson, has called on party leaders and members in Ekiti State to intensify mobilisation at the grassroots level ahead of the ongoing nationwide Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC) e-registration and revalidation exercise.
Dukeson made the call on Tuesday in a statement made available to journalists in Ado Ekiti stressing that active participation in the exercise remains a critical pathway to strengthening the ADC and ensuring victory for its candidate, Amb. Dare Bejide, in the forthcoming Ekiti State governorship election slated for June.
According to him, the new phase of the e- registration exercise presents an opportunity for the party to expand its support base, particularly among youths who have just attained the age of 18, first-time voters, and citizens who need to replace, transfer, or correct issues on their PVCs.
“This is the only lawful and democratic means through which we can support our credible candidate, Amb. Dare Bejide, and position the ADC for victory,” Dukeson said. “When our people registered and empowered to vote, the will of the masses will surely prevail.”
He urged ADC leaders across wards, local governments, and constituencies in Ekiti State to take the campaign to the grassroots by educating residents on the importance of voter registration and assisting them to participate fully in the exercise.
Dukeson noted that effective utilisation of the e- registration and revalidation process would not only deepen democratic participation but also translate into massive electoral support for the ADC in Ekiti State.
While reiterating his confidence in Amb. Dare Bejide’s capacity to deliver people-oriented governance, Dukeson described the ADC governorship candidate as a credible, tested, and visionary leader with the interest of Ekiti people at heart.
He urged Ekiti indigenes, as well as ADC leaders, members, and supporters across the state to remain united, focused, and committed to the collective goal of winning the forthcoming governorship election.
Dukeson concluded by calling on party members to see the PVC exercise as a civic responsibility and a strategic political tool that must not be taken for granted
