The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, on Monday ordered that all major markets in Ife be closed to encourage traders and other residents to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
The traditional ruler said this in Ile-Ife that it was important that traders, artisans as well as other residents set aside time to collect their PVCs.
He further encouraged residents to participate actively in the forthcoming governorship election by freely voting for candidates of their choice.
The Babaloja of New Market in Ile-Ife, Chief Abayomi Omoworare, commended the monarch for the directive.
Omoworare said Ogunwusi has demonstrated exemplary leadership in promoting the campaign on the collection of PVCs.
“Since nobody can vote without Permanent Voter Cards, it is our duty as good citizens to cast our vote in all elections for candidates of our choice.
“My people should, therefore, make use of this day as declared by the first class monarch to go and collect their PVCs because of the forthcoming gubernatorial election in Osun on Sept. 22,” he said.
