Rauf Aregbesola, Interim National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), is mobilizing youths in Osun State to register and obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) ahead of the 2026 governorship election.
The CVR exercise is scheduled to commence on August 18, and Aregbesola is urging eligible citizens, especially youths, to take advantage of this opportunity to register and get their PVCs.
Aregbesola made the appeal during a stakeholders’ meeting of the Omoluabi Progressives in Ilesa, emphasizing the importance of widespread participation in the CVR exercise to ensure a credible and progressive government in Osun.
He encouraged ADC members and supporters to actively participate in the CVR, mobilize their people, and galvanize young people of voting age to get their PVCs, stressing that this is crucial to returning Osun to true progressive leadership in 2026.
Aregbesola also advised supporters to engage in policy and issue-based debates, maintain decorum in their political engagements, and focus on meaningful discussions that enrich political discourse.
