An Islamic group, the Muslim Ummah of South West Nigeria, has called on Nigerians particularly those who have attained the age of voting, especially in the South-West to collect their Permanent Voter Cards to be able to participate in the 2019 general elections.
The statement was made in a statement issued to the press and singed by the Executive Secretary of MUSWEN, Prof. Dawud Noibi in Ibadan.
The group enjoined all Muslim organisations to mobilise all Muslims who are of the voting age to collect their PVCs stressing that they will be expressing their national obligation if they do so.
The group noted that since the time frame of collecting the PVCs was limited, it becomes necessary for voters to do the needful within the time frame.
It further called on all Muslims to show decorum during and after the elections and shun every form of electoral malpractice.
