APC youth leader starts PVC collection drive for 2027 elections

The South-West Youth Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Adesuyi Daramola, has kicked off a 30-day campaign to collect Permanent Voter’s Cards. He also set up a support team to rally eligible voters across the region ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Daramola announced this at the launch event in Lagos on Friday. He said the goal is to speed up PVC collection through continuous public awareness and grassroots efforts in the six South-West states.

In a statement he released himself, Daramola mentioned that the campaign is open to all eligible Nigerians, not just APC members. He wants to encourage everyone to collect their PVCs and take part in the voting process.

“This campaign is not just for APC members. It is for every eligible Nigerian, regardless of political affiliation. Everyone deserves the opportunity to collect their PVC and exercise their constitutional right to vote.

“This goes beyond party politics; it is about encouraging citizens to participate actively in the electoral process,” he explained.

Daramola said that the 30-day drive aims to boost grassroots efforts and increase voter turnout as political activities ramp up for the 2027 elections. He emphasized that the newly formed PVC Collection Support Team will work on raising public awareness, reaching out to communities, and helping eligible voters see PVC collection as a civic duty, not just a political one.

He called on Nigerians who have registered to vote to collect their cards and described this step as vital for exercising their democratic rights.

“Our goal is to encourage young people and all eligible Nigerians to fulfil their civic responsibility by collecting their PVCs. Having registered to obtain a PVC, collecting it should not become a challenge,” Daramola noted.

He also encouraged young Nigerians to turn their interest in politics into active participation. He pointed out that their involvement in elections will shape the leadership and future of the country.

“Elections are not just about the government; they concern every one of us. Our participation has a significant impact on the kind of government we have,” he concluded.
