“Elections remind us not only of the rights but the responsibilities of citizenship in a democracy.

”

- Robert F. Kennedy

(64th United States Attorney General)

Dear Active Citizen,The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), yesterday bowed to citizens pressure and extended the timeframe for collection of Permanent Voters' Cards (PVCs) across the country by eight days. Instead of ending on Sunday, January 22nd, 2023, the collection of PVCs will continue until Sunday, January 29th, 2023.Recall that seven civil society organisations (CSOs) had on Monday, December 19th, 2022 decried the hitches in the distribution of PVCs by INEC and demanded an extension of the distribution for every day that the Commission is unprepared.

The upcoming elections is particularly important to us as the youth bloc of this nation.

The legislative exercise, we gathered, was carried out on Tuesday, January 10th 2023, during a special sitting of the IMHA in Owerri, the State capital. Read more.
