The governor, therefore, urged politicians and political parties in the state to set aside political sentiments and play their part in ensuring that Imo people got their PVCs in the remaining days left for the exercise.

The governor had on Thursday declared Aug. 15 and Aug. 16 work-free, to enable eligible voters in the state to register and also collect their PVCs.

“Markets, shops and other related ventures will remain closed until 4pm,’’ he said

Okorocha, however, urged traditional rulers, churches and community leaders to ensure that their people have their PVCs.
