A Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos State, Segun Adewale, has commended the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega, on the ongoing registration and distribution of the permanent voter cards (PVCs) across the nation, adding that it would have been more dignified and less cumbersome if the exercise could be a continuous exercise like the unhindered collection of international passports and driving licence.
Adewale made the suggestion in Lagos while speaking with newsmen on the state of the nation, immediately after he and members of his family collected their PVCs at their polling unit in Alimosho area on Friday.
Adewale, managing director of Aeroland Group, added that INEC should utilise its 774 area offices across the country and make it compulsory for citizens above 18 years of age to register and collect their cards.
He said this would enfranchise the electorate willing to serve their fatherland.
