INEC Seeks
Co-operation over Voters’
Registration
Political stake-holders have
been enjoined to prevail on
their people to take advantage
of the on-going registration and
verification of voters register
to enable them vote during the
forthcoming general elections.
The Resident Electoral Officer,
Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC), Mr. Mathew
Oguche, made the call at Ajaka,
headquarters of the local
government, during a meeting
with political stake-holders in
the area.
He disclosed that the exercise
would afford those who did not
attain the age of 18 at the last
registration exercise to do so,
while those who have already
been registered could come to
verify their names or obtain
their permanent voters’ cards.
Mr. Oguche, called on the people
to come out enmasse for the
exercise as the electoral
officials would be going round
the 10 political wards of the
local government, stressing that
it might be their opportunity to
register before the next general
elections.
Responding, the chairman of the
local government area. Hon.
Chief Ernest Ocholi Aba,
represented by the Vice
Chairman, Hon. Samson Achimugu,
assured that the council would
provide the necessary logistics
so as to ensure the success of
the exercise in the area.
