El-Rufai to Igbos: You’re lagging behind, take voter registration seriously

 Former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai has appealed
to the people of South East part of the country to take the continuous voter
registration exercise very seriously.

 

El-Rufai stated this on Saturday at an event in Imo State.

 

The former governor specifically appealed to Igbo mothers
and daughters to take voter registration seriously, saying that south-east is
lagging behind in ongoing CVR exercise.

 

He said: “Because the governance of our country today is
democratic, we elect our leaders – we don’t select them, we don’t appoint them.
So Voting is important. Registering to vote is a civic duty. This is not a
political imperative. It is a civil duty, which, as a citizen, you must take
advantage of.

 

“Looking at the numbers of the continuous voter registry in
Nigeria in the last two weeks, the South East, including Imo State, of course,
are lagging behind the rest of Nigeria.

 

“I want to appeal to you, our mothers, our sisters, our
daughters that are in this room, please take this up and get our children that
are 16 years and above, who will be 18 years in two years, and ready to vote.
So please go out and register to vote. It is very important.”
