Paul of Calabar @real_basseypaul Replying to @FrEvaristus No PVC no communion
@Charlesumeze5 Replying to @FrEvaristus Just gather you people up to voting age, play soccer or any game of your choice with them and thereafter conscentize them on the need to pick up their voter card /register.
@nwaegbe_nkem Replying to @FrEvaristus Fr abeg please do it!!! In my office in 2011 anyone without a voters card was not allowed to participate in political discussions. We drew up a timetable for people to go & register so there was no excuse. The first news in the Catholic Church bulletin should be PVC.
