The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) says party members without Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) will no longer be allowed to attend ward and local government meetings.
The chairman’s address was delivered by party’s representatives at the party’s Local Government Areas(LGA)meetings in the 20 local governments and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) on Thursday.
Ojelabi also called for unity in the party, saying that would guarantee victory for the party in the forthcoming council election.
“Get prepared for PVC registration. There is no place for any member of our party without PVC. Henceforth, once you do not have PVC, don’t attend our party meetings.
“Leaders should come together and be united. Each LGA is expected to set up a reconciliation committee where necessary, and inform the party, if the need arises,” the chairman said .
Ojelabi thanked members for their commitment and support toward the progress of our party.
“As we approach the forthcoming Local Government elections, kindly take note of the party’s continuous registration for new members, which will commence soon.
“The party has not issued any guidelines for the upcoming Local Government elections yet,” Ojelabi added.
Ojelabi said the party was committed to free and fair primary elections.
He said there would be no refunds for purchased forms by any aspirants in the election.
The chairman also said that purchasing the party’s form would not guarantee any political appointment.
Ojelabi urged members to continue to keep faith with the party to deliver democratic dividends.
Speaking on the importance of LG meetings ,APC spokesman in the state , Mr Seye Oladejo, said the meetings were important for the strengthening of the party’s strictures at the grassroots.
Oladejo said the meetings would be followed by meetings in the 377 wards in the state.
“The meetings provide an opportunity to disseminate information from the state leadership of the party to the grassroots, as regards upcoming council elections, among others,” he told NAN.
