CVR Exercise: Osun REC Takes Awareness Campaign To Church In Osogbo

Resident Electoral Commissioner, Independent National Electoral Commissioner (INEC), Osun State, Dr Mutiu Agboke took the awareness campaign for the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration exercise to the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG Region 43 Headquarters, Osogbo, on Sunday.

A statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com noted that Dr Agboke, who assured Nigerians that their votes will count, added that their preferred candidates will emerge as winners in the 2026 Osun State governorship election and the 2027 general election.

He urged those who are eligible to participate in elections to ensure that they collect their Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs, and participate actively in the democratic process adding that doing this will allow citizens to influence leadership while doing otherwise may result in having undesirable people in positions of authority.

 ‘The only thing you can do in Nigeria today is to carry your PVC and vote for the candidate of your choice.

Go and collect your PVC. If we don’t do it, miscreants will be the ones elected to office.

There is a need to support INEC and make your vote count. I am assuring you in the house of God that the election in Osun State will be for the candidate of your choice, and it will be free and fair’ he said.

Those who are yet to get on the electoral register should according to him take advantage of the ongoing CVR exercise by visiting the INEC state office or their respective local government offices to complete the registration process.

‘If you haven’t registered at all, please visit the INEC state office or your local government office, but ensure you register online. Take advantage of the opportunity to register.

There is a need for proper education. I have assured the congregation that any complaints brought before my attention would be promptly addressed’ he submitted while adding that ‘the engagement with stakeholders is a continuous process and we cannot choose a better time than now when a major INEC activity is ongoing, and that is why we have to come here’.

He also said the awareness campaign efforts will continue in order to ensure that those who are eligible to participate in elections get on the electoral register.

 ‘We will carry the campaign to our major stakeholders. We have visited royal palaces, religious centres like churches, mosques, and market places.

We will continue the awareness campaign, we have not ended it. It will continue until the end of the entire exercise’ he added-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us? Do you want us to cover your event or programme?
