Idealplusgist: Osun 2026: Youth Advancement Initiative Demands Immediate Release of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) To Eligible Osun Citizens
The Youth Advancement Initiative (YAI), Osun State Chapter, expresses deep concern over the continued delay in the issuance of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to thousands of eligible citizens of Osun State who have duly completed their voter registration, as well as those who applied for transfer, relocation, correction of personal details, or replacement of lost or damaged PVCs.
As an organization committed to youth participation, democratic governance, and electoral inclusion, we consider this delay unacceptable, particularly when the Osun State Governorship Election is only a few weeks away.
The right to vote is a constitutional right and remains one of the strongest pillars of democracy. Any administrative delay that prevents qualified citizens from exercising this right undermines public confidence in the electoral process and disenfranchises thousands of voters, especially young people who have demonstrated their willingness to participate actively in determining the future of our dear State.
We therefore call on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to immediately commence the distribution of all available PVCs to eligible registrants across Osun State without further delay.
We specifically urge INEC to ensure that:
- All newly registered voters receive their Permanent Voter Cards before the election.
- Applicants for voter transfer, relocation, correction of records, and replacement of damaged or lost PVCs are attended to promptly.
- Adequate collection centres and clear collection schedules are provided across all Local Government Areas.
- Citizens are not subjected to unnecessary delays, administrative bottlenecks, or last-minute excuses capable of denying them their constitutional right to vote.
With barely about thirty-five (35) days remaining before the election, time is no longer on our side. Every passing day without PVC distribution reduces the opportunity for eligible voters to participate in the democratic process.
The youths of Osun State are prepared to participate peacefully, responsibly, and lawfully in the forthcoming election. However, such participation can only be meaningful if every eligible voter has unhindered access to his or her Permanent Voter Card.
We therefore call on INEC to rise to its constitutional responsibility by ensuring that no eligible Osun citizen is disenfranchised due to avoidable administrative delays.
The Youth Advancement Initiative will continue to advocate for a transparent, inclusive, credible, and peaceful electoral process where every qualified vote counts.
No Eligible Voter Should Be Left Behind.

Anambra APC Rally: Akpabio’s Appearance Raises Questions About His Well-Being
A new video from the Anambra APC rally has gone viral online, sparking widespread speculation and concern about the health of Senate President Godswill Akpabio. The footage, which surfaced shortly after the political gathering, shows Akpabio appearing noticeably weak and moving slowly while addressing party supporters.
The video quickly gained traction on X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and TikTok, where many Nigerians expressed worry over the Senate President’s physical appearance. Some users suggested that Akpabio might be unwell, while others called on his media team to clarify his current state of health.

Oponu, ayirada! Is Obi a government or NFF official?
TimeManager: Lere Olayinka, media aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has sparked controversy after reacting to Peter Obi’s condolence visit to the family of late Super Eagles goalkeeper, Peter Rufai.
Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, visited the Rufai family on Saturday, August 23, 2025, at their residence in Amuwo Odofin, Lagos—one day after the football icon was buried.
Obi, accompanied by former international Sylvanus Okpala, spent time with the family, offered prayers, and signed the condolence register.
He explained that he had only learned of the burial date the day before, while in Abuja, and flew to Lagos early that morning to pay his respects.
However, shortly after the visit, Olayinka took to social media to question the motive behind Obi’s action.
The tweet appeared to link Obi’s visit to earlier comments made by former Super Eagles defender Taribo West, who had criticized the silence of Nigerian Football Federation and other local football association following Rufai’s death.
Olayinka suggested that Obi’s visit was a reaction to that criticism and aimed more at gaining media attention than offering genuine condolence.
His remarks sparked mixed reactions online.
While critics of Obi echoed Olayinka’s view, accusing the former Anambra governor of using the visit for publicity, others defended Obi’s actions, describing them as sincere and timely given his explanation.
