The Oyo State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday tasked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to guarantee the success of the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) in all parts of the country
In a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Comrade Olawale Sadare, the party emphasized that the time has come for INEC to sanitize its register for the coming elections in Nigeria
Oyo APC maintained that in sanitizing it’s register,INEC should remove names of all dead persons and also ensure that no underage or ineligible person is allowed register as a voter
According to the party INEC should not hesitate to deploy every machinery in its disposal towards guarantee the CVR success.
“The commission has to sanitize its register by removing names of all dead persons and also ensure that no underage or ineligible person is allowed register as a Voter”. it said.
Oyo APC added, “The issue of non availability of registration officials and/or materials should not raise its ugly head this time while politicians and their agents should not be allowed to compromise the exercise.”
” More importantly, INEC has to be above board in discharging its duties particularly as this concerns the registration of fresh voters as well as production and distribution of PVCs”.
Lamenting the loss of its candidate in the August 16 by-election in Ibadan North Federal Constituency, Oyo APC urged INEC to be above board in discharging its duties particularly as this concerns the registration of fresh voters as well as production and distribution of PVCs.
” Now that the build up to the next general election is unfolding with the commencement of the continuous voter registration exercise, we want all our party faithful to remain focused as we appealed for calm among those who have been agitated by the activities of some politicians and private individuals who have created unauthorised registration centres with a view to playing to the gallery and misleading the public on an exercise which could only be carried INEC as recognised by law.
“We are using this medium to direct all stakeholders within our Party to assist passionate and diligent party members who are saddled with task of mobilising prospective voters,from within their communities and Wards, to register with INEC and obtain their PVC even as we assure that the state secretariat would be ready to listen to their complaints and take the necessary steps to address them urgently”.
New Nigerian recalls that INEC announced Tuesday, August 2025, 2015 as the date for the commencement of the registration of eligible Nigerians as fresh voters having earlier begun the online service for those seeking to get a replacement for their lost or damaged Permanent Voter Card (PVC) as well as those who are willing to transfer their voting power from one place to another within the country.
