Ogun Youth Party urges residents to obtain PVCs ahead of 2027 polls

The Ogun State chapter of the Youth Party has urged residents of the state to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards ahead of the 2027 general elections, describing the PVC as the most effective tool for electing credible leaders.

The call was made on Wednesday by the newly elected state chairman of the party, Mrs Olamide Okunowo, shortly after she emerged chairman during the party congress held in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

Okunowo, who was unanimously endorsed by members to lead the party for the next three years, said the Youth Party was fully prepared to contest and take over leadership positions in the state in 2027.

She noted that the party remained committed to promoting visionary leadership and ensuring active youth participation in governance across Ogun State.

According to her, “The Youth Party has come to stay in Ogun, and we are going to strive for excellence to ensure that we take over leadership positions in the state for the rightful and visionary youth.”

She added that her administration would focus on strengthening the party’s grassroots structure and bridging existing gaps within communities across the state.

Okunowo also appealed to residents, especially young people, to actively participate in the electoral process by obtaining their voter cards ahead of the next general elections.

“I encourage both members and non-members to get their PVCs because it remains the only veritable tool to vote for the right candidates during the 2027 elections,” she said.

The party disclosed that its Ward Congress held on Saturday, May 16, was monitored by representatives of the Independent National Electoral Commission.

Other officials elected during the congress include Mr Okunowo Olajide as Youth Leader, Soyemi Kehinde as Women Leader, Salako Oluwakemisola as Organising Secretary, Shomoye Olujoke as Treasurer, Obadeyi Samuel as Ogun Central Senatorial District Chairman, Olawoyin Jelili as Assistant Secretary, Ibrahim Muftau as Vice Chairman, and Adeniyi Oluwayemisi as General Secretary.
