He also urged them to be steadfast in praying for the Church and the nation in general.

‘” let me tell you, as far as election is concern, if you don’t have PVCs, you have no voice in this election discussion . No matter how you speak and mobilize, you have no voice. It is only those who have PVCs that have a voice. Politics is a game of numbers.” He added.

Apostle Ojo posited that any Christian that does not have PVC is a voiceless Christian who does not have a voice in public especially when it comes to election matter.

“Such as this particular hour that requires all of us to get our PVCe to March forward to change the narrative of the leadership of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. You will get you PVC no matter the games the ruling APC government is playing.

“We are aware plans are on ground to deny Nigerians to get their PVCs, especially the region where Peter Obi is pupolar. But we are in court to fight against it. We are going to mobilize more civil society to join us in the race. Be vigilant and be ready to vote,” Akeni butttressed.

No, it is holding in Anambra. Nnewi, to be precise, not Umuahia in Abia State again. In fact, Umuahia was not even the first venue we chose. Benin was the first choice before we changed to Umuahia and now Nnewi.

“So, we are at liberty to pick any venue of our choice. We only need to inform INEC about the change in venue and the time,” Edun said.

Section 82(1) of the Electoral Act, 2022 states that political parties shall give INEC at least 21 days’ notice of convention, congress, conference or meeting.

This includes the convention or meeting convened for “merger” and electing members of its executive committees and other governing bodies or nominating candidates.
