CONTINUOUS VOTER REGISTRATION: 10 REASONS WHY NIGERIANS MUST GET THEIR PVC NOW

 

By APGA Press Corps

1. RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN DEMOCRACY

Registering for a PVC gives citizens the power to exercise their constitutional right to vote and be part of the democratic process. Without it, their voices cannot be heard during elections.

2. INFLUENCE LEADERSHIP CHOICES

Elections determine who governs Nigeria at all levels. A PVC is the only tool through which citizens can help elect credible leaders who will represent their interests.

3. HOLD LEADERS ACCOUNTABLE

With a PVC, citizens can vote out non-performing leaders and support candidates who are responsive to the needs of the people.

4. SHAPE THE FUTURE OF NIGERIA

Every vote counts. Registering ensures citizens play an active role in deciding policies that will affect education, healthcare, security, and economic development across the nation.

5. PREVENT DISENFRANCHISEMENT

Many people regret on election day when they realize they cannot vote due to lack of a PVC. Registering now ensures no one is left out of the process.

6. STRENGTHEN THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM

The more citizens register and vote, the stronger democracy becomes. High voter turnout makes elections more credible and reduces the chance of manipulation.

7. YOUTH AND WOMEN INCLUSION

Young people and women form a significant part of Nigeria’s population. Registering ensures their voices are not ignored in decision-making and governance.

8. PEACEFUL CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY

Getting a PVC is a peaceful way of demanding good governance. Instead of protests or violence, citizens can use their votes to effect change.

9. LOCAL GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATION

Beyond gubernatorial and presidential elections, a PVC allows citizens to elect competent leaders at the local government level who directly impact grassroots development.

10. LEGACY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

Registering and voting sets a positive example for younger generations. It shows that citizens value democracy and are willing to build a better Nigeria.

APGA OSUN LAUNCHES PROJECT VREEM TO DRIVE MASSIVE VOTER REGISTRATION AHEAD OF 2027 ELECTIONS

 

The Osun State Chapter of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has officially launched a new civic project tagged Project VREEM: Voters Registration, Education, Engagement, and Mobilization, designed to sensitize and mobilize citizens across the state for the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

According to the party leadership, the initiative is strategically designed to cover the entire cycle of democratic participation—register → learn → engage → act—ensuring that every eligible citizen in Osun is empowered with the information and opportunity to exercise their civic duty in the 2027 general elections.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced that the 2025 Continuous Voter Registration exercise has commenced, offering residents an opportunity to either register for the first time or update their voter details. APGA Osun, through Project VREEM, is calling on citizens to seize this chance to validate their electoral status and strengthen their democratic voice.

The exercise is open to: citizens who lost or damaged their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), residents who changed their place of residence and need to transfer polling units, and first-time voters who recently turned 18 years of age. APGA Osun stressed that participation in this exercise is not optional but essential for those who want their voices heard in shaping the state and nation’s future.

Project VREEM will run on social media to educate citizens on the importance of voter registration, guide them through the online pre-registration process, and ensure that eligible voters understand what documents to bring to the INEC centers.

The CVR process will be carried out in two steps. The first step is Online Pre-Registration, which begins on Monday, 18th August 2025 via https://cvr.inecnigeria.org

The Osun State Chapter of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has congratulated the Governor of Anambra State and National Leader of the party, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, as well as the National Chairman of APGA, Barr. Sylvester Ezeokenwa, on the party’s victory in the recently concluded Anambra by-elections.

This was contained in a congratulatory statement issued in Osogbo by the Chairman of APGA in Osun State, Wole Adedoyin, who described the victory as another milestone in consolidating the party’s strength and influence in Nigeria’s democratic space.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared APGA victorious in both the Anambra South Senatorial and Onitsha North 1 State House of Assembly by-elections conducted on Saturday. According to results announced on Sunday, the party swept all wards in the affected constituencies.

In the senatorial by-election, held to fill the seat left vacant following the demise of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, APGA’s candidate, Chief Emmanuel Nwachukwu, polled a total of 90,408 votes to defeat his closest rivals—APC with 19,812 votes and YPP with 6,538 votes.

Similarly, in the Onitsha North 1 State House of Assembly by-election, which followed the tragic loss of its former occupant, Justice Azuka, APGA candidate Mimi Ifeoma Azikiwe secured a landslide victory with 7,774 votes against her closest challenger from the ADC, who polled 1,909 votes.

Declaring the results, Prof. Frank Ojiako, INEC Returning Officer for the Senatorial poll, affirmed Chief Emmanuel Nwachukwu duly elected, while Prof. Ibiam Ekpe, Returning Officer for the State Assembly election, announced Mimi Ifeoma Azikiwe as winner.

The outcome marks a historic milestone, as this is the first time APGA will be representing Anambra South in the Senate. Chief Emmanuel Nwachukwu’s election is widely regarded as a symbol of APGA’s resilience and growing acceptability across Nigeria.

Reacting to the victory, Governor Soludo, in a message shared on his official Facebook page, expressed joy and gratitude to Ndi Anambra for their overwhelming support. He noted that APGA won over 75 percent of the votes, sweeping all 118 wards across seven local government areas in the Senatorial District, and all eight wards in Onitsha North Constituency 1.
