Former Lagos governor, Bola Tinubu has commended
Governor Ambode for his laudable achievements in office just within fourteen
months, adding that the Governor has made him very proud. He also commended the
Deputy Governor, Dr Idiat Oluranti Adebule and the entire team of the State
Government for supporting the Governor to achieve so much within a little time.
He added: “I was with Mr President, President Muhammadu Buhari for about two
hours yesterday and Governor Ambode was not there when we were discussing
generally about the problem of Nigeria.
On his part, Lagos state governor, Mr Akinwunmi
Ambode has urged residents to approach the offices of the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) across the State for their Permanent Voters Cards
(PVCs) to enable them participate in future elections. Governor Ambode, who
spoke at the All Progressives Congress (APC) party secretariat in Lagos during
a meeting with Local Government and Ward Chairmen of the party, said it was
important for residents of the State who are yet to collect their PVCs to
approach the electoral body, as the process of distribution of the cards has
begun in earnest.
The governor said available information at his
disposal was to the effect that a lot of people were not aware of the ongoing
exercise by INEC, and as such, people must be made to be aware and take the
distribution seriously. It would be recalled that the electoral commission, few
days ago, began distribution of PVCs in Lagos with a call on registered voters
to come with their temporary cards for the collection of the PVCs between 8am
and 4pm from Monday to Friday.
The Governor said: “There is an INEC exercise going on now in which they are distributing voters’ card to those who are yet to collect. Many people are not even aware of the development and I like to use this medium to appeal to our party members to go and collect their PVCs. “I want to encourage all of us that we should now take the exercise seriously because that is the beginning of the framework of the elections yet to come. This is an appeal both to our members who are here and those who are not here. “The APC, as from Monday, will also start massive mobilization and sensitization of the public towards the exercise,” governor Ambode said.
