Chief Lawrence Adenugba Urges Ondo Citizens to Prioritize Voter Card Registration
As preparations for the upcoming elections gather momentum, respected community leader and elder statesman, Chief Lawrence Adenugba, has called on the people of Ondo State to take the ongoing voter registration exercise seriously.
In a passionate appeal, Chief Adenugba emphasized the power of the Permanent Voter Card (PVC) as a vital tool for democratic participation. He noted that citizens cannot afford to remain indifferent to electoral processes, especially at a time when the state and country need visionary and accountable leadership.
Highlighting the importance of active civic engagement, the elder statesman urged youths, first-time voters, and those who recently relocated to update their information and ensure they are registered to vote.
He pointed out that apathy and nonchalance toward elections only serve to weaken the democratic system and prolong poor governance.
Chief Adenugba also expressed concern over the low turnout being reported at some registration centers, calling on religious leaders, traditional institutions, and civil society organizations to intensify voter education campaigns.
He urged communities to spread awareness about registration deadlines and ensure every eligible citizen is empowered to make their voice count.
As the registration deadline approaches, his message is clear: every vote matters, and every citizen has a role to play in shaping the future of Ondo State and Nigeria at large.
