African Democratic Congress (ADC), has urged Nigerians to embrace the ongoing nationwide Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise.
Chairman of the party in Gombe State, Mr Danladi Yau, said this at the end of its State Executive Council (SEC) meeting, in Gombe on Friday.
Yau said that citizens had the responsibility of acquiring their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), to be eligible to participate in any political process.
He said that part of the civic rights of Nigerians was to acquire their PVCs, to enable them to participate in electoral process and make democratic decisions that would bring about the desire change.
The chairmsn enjoined members of the party to embrace the ongoing CVR and advised those who turned 18 years, to register in the exercise.
On alleged faction of the party in the state, Yau said: “I’m the authentic chairman of the ADC in Gombe State, recognised by INEC.
“Anybody parading himself as chairman is fake, and it is illegal for them to do so.
“The former chairman served since 2011, and his tenure elapsed in 2019. This is according to the four years of two terms, maximum stipulated by our party constitution.
“The ex-chairman has been expelled from the party in 2022, and we have the letter here, so how can he be the chairman?
Ya’u pledged allegiance to the David Mark-led leadership at the national level, urging members to work together to strengthen the party ahead of 2027.
He said the party would soon begin registration of new members across the 114 wards in the state.
The registration, he said, was to mobilise huge membership to challenge the All Progressive Congress-led government in the state and nation. (NAN)
