“We want all that are of voting age to register; women traders and entrepreneurs who find it difficult to queue at the INEC office should take advantage of this exercise to register at their convenience. With this, we can put an end to voter’s apathy."
Akinyemi-Obe who is the immediate past Chairman of Coker/Aguda LCDA reminded the gathering that voting is not carried out on social media.
Lagos residents urged to embrace online voters registration
The chairman of Coker/Aguda LCDA, Rasak Ibrahim, urged the residents to embrace online registration.
He said this will save them from queuing at the INEC office for PVC.
Also, the vice chairman of Itire-Ikate LCDA, Yetunde Gimba, urged youths to act on the election through their PVCs.
She said:
“Without PVCs, you can’t vote for the people of your choice. Let’s go for our PVCs and vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2023."
2023 presidency: Will Osinbajo contest against Tinubu? APC chieftain speaks
Meanwhile, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Daniel Bwala, on Tuesday, February 8, said that vice president Yemi Osinbajo will not be contesting against the party's national leader, Bola Tinubu, at the 2023 general elections.
Bwala said the vice president is not interested in vying for the number one seat in the forthcoming presidential election.
He said he is aware there is some atom of wisdom in the vice president not contesting for the presidency even as he (Osinbajo) ensures that any attempt at suggesting such is whittled down.
