According to him, the mobilisation campaign is also to encourage eligible residents across the state to participate actively in the ongoing CVR exercise.

“In line with the party’s commitment to deepening democratic participation and consolidating its grassroots strength, the Lagos APC has directed all ward and local government leaders to immediately begin community-level mobilization to ensure that every eligible voter—especially first-time registrants, youths, and those who have relocated—is captured in the current voter registration exercise.”he said

Oladejo went further to state that the ward chairmen and LGA party structures have been activated to conduct door-to-door campaigns and organize community sensitization sessions,as the party has launched a targeted digital campaign to reach young and tech-savvy voters through social media platforms and digital forums

“In select LGAs, logistics support is being provided to assist voters—especially the elderly and people in riverine or hard-to-reach areas—to access designated INEC registration centres.”

” Elected officials, political appointees, and community leaders are playing a central role in the mobilization drive, reinforcing the importance of voter registration as a civic responsibility and a tool for political empowerment.” he submitted

Speaking further on the significance of the exercise, he said securing a Permanent Voter Card (PVC) is the first step toward sustaining the progress made in Lagos State and ensuring the continuity of good governance.
