Governor Gboyega Oyetola of Osun State, on Wednesday, urged the electorate in the state to protect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) ahead of the July 16 governorship election in the state.
Oyetola made the remarks during an engagement programme with Nigeria Professional Photographers and Videographers Association on Wednesday in Osogbo.
Represented by his Special Adviser on Civic Engagement, Mr Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, the governor urged them not to allow any individual to deceive them with ‘fake promises’ to steal their PVCs from them.
The governor, who noted that the strength of the electorate is his or her PVC, urged them to jealously guard it.
He said: “Some people will want to collect your PVC with the pretence of giving you money or material things.
“They are all liars, those things that they did not give you two years ago, they are lying to give you a few months to the election.
