"what we are doing here today as a partner to this coalition, we are literarily helping to register more people in Abia state to have their PVC. So far, the data showing on INEC portal is saying that since last year until now, we have less than 60,000 people that have registered for their PVC in Abia state and that is not a good number when you look at the fact that we have an election coming up in 2023."
