Port Harcourt, Rivers State – As the 2027 general election approaches, a political-pressure group in the state, Rivers Women Unite for Sim (RWUS), has urged women to obtain their permanent voter cards (PVC) and actively participate in the polls. RWUS is aligned with Governor Siminalayi Fubara's administration but has recently declared support for the Renewed Hope Family and the Rainbow Coalition.
The group's Convener, Sotonye Toby-Fulton, emphasized the importance of PVCs during a monthly prayer meeting. She emphasized that without a PVC, women's participation in the election will be limited. Toby-Fulton encouraged those with temporary cards to obtain permanent ones, highlighting the power a PVC holds in making a difference.
Toby-Fulton also cautioned against selling votes before, during, and after the election period, stressing that God cannot cast votes for them. She urged women to remain calm and resilient, repeating the phrase "Peace Be Still" in the face of challenges.
Another group leader, Adata Bio-Briggs, a former Chairperson of FIDA in Rivers State, echoed the importance of obtaining PVCs, stating that it is crucial for every indigene, particularly women, to participate in the decision-making process and bring about the desired change. She reminded everyone of the ongoing peace deal between the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, and Governor Fubara, emphasizing that peace has returned to the state and that everyone must abide by it.
