Dear Active Citizen,

INEC’s CVR updates as of Monday, July 18 show that 70% of recent registrants are between 18-34 years old. This implies that the outcome of the 2023 general elections will be determined majorly by young people.

A stark reality. Are you paying attention? 

Be the change that you seek in governance.

CVR Ends Sunday, July 31

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has

for the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise as

Sunday, July 31, 2022.

The time for registration has also been extended to

8  hours daily

from

Mondays to Sundays.

We are at the eleventh hour again! If you have not registered to participate in the 2023 general elections, seize this opportunity to

get registered NOW!

Osun Decided

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate Ademola Adeleke polled

403,371 votes

to defeat the incumbent Governor, Gboyega Oyetola of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The election was decided with a vote margin of
