Speaking after her emergence, Itubo called on the Rivers people to ensure they secured their permanent voters’ cards in order to vote out bad leaders.
Itubo said, “tell everyone within your sphere of interest to go and register and get their PVC because if you don’t have your PVC, if you like, line out from here and get to Ordinance Junction, it will take us to nowhere.
“So, go and get your PVC and your PVC will speak.
