PVC Is Your Tool, Fubara Tells GDI Members 

As the Grassroots Development Initiative (GDI) takes the sensitisation rally for the INEC Continuous Voter Registration exercise to Ahoada East Local Government Area of Rivers State, the gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),  Amaopu Senibo Siminialayi Fubara, has described GDI as a PDP workshop which must have requisite tools to function properly.
Speaking at the  rally which held on Saturday  at State School, Ahoada, headquarters of Ahoada East Local Government Area,  Amaopusenibo Fubara   maintained that the  only tool needed by  GDI to work is the Permament Voter Card (PVC).
He urged those who have not registered to go to the nearest registration centre to do so.
The PDP standard bearer who described the PVC sensitisation rally as a very important programme for the forthcoming election, insisted that the PVC would enable the electorate in Ahoada East to make their statement during elections.
“We won’t make our mark in this local government area if we don’t have our PVC.
‘If we really have the interest of PDP’s working tools which is the GDI, then you need to have your PVC”, Fubara said.
He disclosed that the mere mention of his name is  making most people jittery, saying that this is a clear sign of victory for him.
“We will win because each time you mention incoming, people get scared because I am the incoming and I will win,” he stated.
He also advised GDI members not to bring their original PVC to the rally, saying that it is possible for such  cards to get lost in the process, adding that such a situation could be a great loss to the GDI.
“You can make photocopy and come with the photocopy. Each PVC that is here is a vote for us. Let’s not start losing our vote while sensitising people .
‘’Your PVC is your voice, your PVC is your  vote, your PVC is your power. What we are doing is to let you know the importance of the PVC.
‘’ It is not just a jamboree, it is to tell you to go back to your unit, go back to your ward and encourage people that have not registered to register,” he emphasised.
Also speaking, the Chairman of Ahoada East Local Government Area, Hon. Ben Eke said that his administration has made the possession of the PVC a precondition for bursary payment to students of the area.
The event was attended by people from different walks of life, including  the Deputy Governorship candidate of the party,  Prof. Ngozi Ordu; State PDP Chairman, Ambassador Desmond Akawor, represented by the party Secretary, Dr Benibo George; members of the State Executive of the party, members of the  National and State Assembly, local government chairmen,  former commissioners, women, youths and student groups.
