Samuel Ortom, the governor of Benue State, has urged Nigerians to vote credibly in the general elections of 2023 by arming themselves with their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs).
In addition, Ortom supported the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), the technology that will be used for the accreditation and authentication of voters starting in 2023. Ortom made these remarks on Sunday at the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Makurdi, the state capital, while delivering his well-wishes message at a church service to mark this year’s Christmas celebration.
He claimed that individuals who were elected to govern the country at all levels had failed to uphold their obligation, which is why the country was experiencing pains, hardships, economic problems, and security issues.
“This time, there is no snatching of ballot boxes because it will not be there for anybody to snatch,” he said, urging the people to make sure they vote in the upcoming elections. Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) will have an impact. Your physical engagement and presence are therefore crucial.

“The 2023 elections is the only opportunity we have. So those who are yet to collect their PVCs, please, I beg you in the name of God to do so because that is the only way you can exercise your franchise and restore hope and dignity to our country by electing leaders that have been tested and trusted who you can rely on and work with,” the governor said.
“One vote can make a difference. So if you want a change that will bring dignity and restoration to our country and promote economic development and add value to the development of humanity and restore security, that vote will count.”
Recent reports claim that politicians opposed to the BVAS are attempting to use the legal system to prevent the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from using the BVAS and INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV) in the elections scheduled for next year. However, the electoral body has repeatedly reaffirmed its commitment and determination to use the system for the general elections scheduled for 2023.
