INEC maintains using religious platforms in Voters Registration Exercise

The Independent National Electoral Commission says it will continue to use religious venues to educate residents about the importance of participating in the ongoing continuous voters registration exercise.

The Resident Electoral Commissioner in Oyo state, Mutiu Agboke while speaking at a sensitisation program held in Ibadan disclosed that the commission will be able to reach a bigger audience and enhance better preparation towards the next 2023 election.

Agboke added that the necessity for going to church is because citizens have not turned out in large numbers to get their PVCs, despite the fact that over 700,000 were collected earlier this year.

A congregant Otepola Adeniyi commended the process and urged Nigerians to take it as a point of duty to exercise their franchise in the coming 2023 election.
