Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan has harped on the need for all Deltans to take part in the ongoing registration/collection of permanent voter’s cards exercise, urging Deltans to take the collection of voter’s cards seriously
Speaking to journalists today in his community, Abigborodo shortly after picking his card, the governor called on Deltans to avail themselves of the ongoing exercise and pick their voter’s cards.
While saying that he was impressed with the mass turnout of members of his community, the Governor, who picked his card at exactly 2:20pm, implored all registered Deltans not to shun the exercise.
Governor Uduaghan said he had to declare today as work free day in the state to enable all that have registered to take part actively in the exercise.
The Governor who complained that period of exercise was short, however charged Deltans to make the best use of the period so as to vote for candidates of their choice when elections come.
“As you can see, I have just picked up my voter’s card, the process is very simple. I am appealing to Deltans once again to make the best use of this period to go for their cards that will enable them vote in the forthcoming elections. Your card is your power to vote a candidate of your choice. We should not fail to take part in the exercise, it is very important,” said the Governor.
Delta State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dame Gesila Khan, described the exercise as a huge success, adding that she was impressed with the turnout of Deltans across the state.
She disclosed that the exercise will take place in 3,624 polling units across the state.
