funds campaign for collection of PVC, wants paradigm shift"},"content":{"rendered":"<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Cross River State Governor,\u00a0 Prof.\u00a0 Ben Ayade has called on residents of<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the state to ensure that they register and collect their Permanent Voter&#8217;s<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Card (PVC) before the 2019 elections.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Ayade made the call when he received a set of his appointees under the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">aegis of Special Assistants Network (SAN), who are running an advocacy<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">programme to encourage the collection of PVCs.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">In order to aid the group achieve effective mobilization, the governor<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">announced the release of N9 million for the exercise across the 18 council<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">areas of the state.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Ayade who lamented the poor outlay of monthly revenue allocated to the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">state attributed the shortfall to record of over ten years population<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">figure, saying that there was need to mobilize the populace to come out<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">and get registered to reflect the current reality that will translate into<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">economic terms.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">In his words: This campaign is very important because it is not all about<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">my re-election but for the sake of Cross River State that has been cheated<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">over the years due to the non-challant attitude of the populace on issues<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">as sensitive as voters registration and we must change the paradigm by<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">ensuring everyone comes out and get registered and collect their PVCs.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Continuing he disclosed that &#8220;Cross River State is over 4.5 million in<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">terms of population size, but records continue to place it at 2.3million.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">What a falsehood?\u00a0 And we have been on this for the past ten years which<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">is why I am supporting this campaign to change the paradigm because what<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">ever figure you get also accounts for developmental indices from the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Federal Government.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">While thanking his aides for the initiative with a promise to provide them<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">with the necessary logistics,\u00a0 Ayade further charged: &#8220;Please ensure that<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">everybody of voting age is registered in your various wards not only for<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the 2019 election but to ensure that true adults population of the state<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">will be reflected in any exercise carried out by any organization.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Leader of the group and Special Assistant on Peace and Reconciliation, Mr.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Charles Ushie, stated that the essence of the network was to sensitize the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">citizenry on the need to equip themselves with the PVC ahead of the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">general election,\u00a0 adding that they will also ensure that those who were<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">yet to register were encouraged to do so across the 196 wards of the 18<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">local government areas of the state.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">He thanked the governor for believing in their capacity to serve the state<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">and promised to do their best to ensure that their people, especially<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">those at the grassroots were fully mobilized for the exercise.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">According to him, this would be a token of their contribution to support<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the re-election of Governor Ayade, given his track record of performance,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">which he noted has resulted in transforming the socio-economic landscape<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">of the state in the last three years.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on
