Kano NDC Candidate Urges Residents to Register for PVC Before July 24

The governorship candidate for the New Democratic Congress in Kano State, Aminu Gwarzo, has called on all eligible residents who have not registered with the Independent National Electoral Commission. He especially wants youths and women to use the commission’s new online portal to register from home using their National Identification Number before the July 24 deadline.

In a statement released on Saturday by his spokesperson, Ibrahim Shuaibu, Gwarzo explained that INEC has created a self-service registration platform. This new platform allows first-time voters to start and finish their registration online at cvr.inecnigeria.org.

He emphasized that voting is a key way for citizens to share their views and shape the country’s democratic future.

"This new portal removes the barrier of long queues. Our young people, our mothers and sisters can now register at home using their phones or computers. There is no excuse not to participate,” he said.

Gwarzo particularly encouraged youths and women to register. He highlighted that the Permanent Voter Card is the only tool for bringing about positive change.

"The PVC is your power. It is the weapon we have to bring about positive change for our families, our communities, and Kano State. I am calling on our youth and women especially, register, collect your PVC, and vote in 2027,” he stated.

The NDC candidate urged all eligible Nigerians who have not registered to complete their online pre-registration. They should also go for biometric capture where necessary and collect their PVCs when they are ready.

"The future of Kano State and Nigeria depends on informed and responsible citizens,” Gwarzo said. "Register today, vote peacefully in 2027, and let’s build the Kano we all desire."

He also asked community leaders, religious organizations, youth groups, and civil society organizations to encourage citizens to register in large numbers ahead of the 2027 general elections.
