You Snooze, You Lose!

Dear Active Citizen,

We didn’t come this far to give up!

The declaration of result of the Aba North/South Federal Constituency by-election which held on Saturday, March 27, 2021, was the true definition of voter apathy. 496,628 registered voters; 16,017 people voted. 3.29% voter turnout.

Citizens are not interested in politics because they have been disappointed too many times over. But let’s remember voting and not voting has consequences. 3.29% of registered voters (not the population), will determine who speaks for Aba North/South Federal Constituency in the National Assembly. We must #FixPolitics!

Turning up to vote is a choice. To have that choice, you must have registered to vote. INEC will commence Continuous Voter’s Registration (CVR) on Monday, June 28th.

Remember, you can only ‘Sọ̀rọ̀ Sókè’ with your vote when you are registered.
