Operation Show Your PVC: RCCG members without PVC barred from attending church services

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has issued a fresh directive ordering all members to collect their permanent voter’s cards (PVCs) in advance of the start of the operation “display your PVC.”

In a letter to the pastors in charge of the RCCG provinces dated June 17, 2022, Belemina Obunge, the international youth pastor, said that on behalf of Pastor E.A. Adeboye.

THE LETTER READ, “WE REFER TO THE ABOVE AND WISH TO KINDLY INFORM YOU THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED A DIRECTIVE FROM THE MISSION AUTHORITY TO ENSURE A HIGH LEVEL OF SENSITIZATION IN ALL OUR PARISHES ON THE NEED FOR ALL OUR MEMBERS TO GET THEIR PERMANENT VOTER’S CARD (PVC) IN THE ONGOING CONTINUOUS VOTER REGISTRATION (CVR) EXERCISE.

“BASED ON THE ABOVE, PROVINCIAL HQTRS AND MEGA PARISHES ARE ENCOURAGED TO USE THEIR PARISH AS A CENTRE FOR ONE OR TWO DAYS TO FACILITATE THEIR MEMBERS’ & INTERESTED NEIGHBOURS’ REGISTRATION CONSIDERING THE CLOSENESS OF THE DEADLINE (JUNE 30TH, 2022) OF THE CONTINUOUS VOTER REGISTRATION EXERCISE.

“PROVINCES WILL BE REQUIRED TO SEND A SUMMARIZED REPORT OF PARISHES’ COMPLIANCE WITH THE ABOVE DIRECTIVE TO THE OFFICE OF THE UNDERSIGNED, STATING THE NUMBER OF ADULT MEMBERS VERSUS THE NUMBER OF PVCS COUNTED.

“THE REPORT IS EXPECTED ON OR BEFORE TUESDAY 27TH, JUNE 2022 FOR ONWARD COMPILATION TO THE MISSION AUTHORITY.”
