Politics
THE Civil Liberties Organization, CLO, Anambra State has decried with great disdain apathy, indifference and nonchalant attitude of registrants to collect their voters card less than one week to the end of voters card collections as stated by INEC.
It will be recalled that the lukewarm attitude of citizens during the voter’s registration exercise is still rearing its ugly head in voters card collections, notwithstanding below expectations low voting strength of the state and southeast.
It is of prime importance to remind citizens that voters’ card is the only leeway and power to enthrone good governance and leaders and vote out inept, corrupt and self-serving leaders.
It is very unfortunate, pathetic and despicable the people of southeast has not understood the importance of power hence their political participation is below expectations.
Let us change the pathetic narrative by mobilizing and sensitizing, Anambrarians, residents, citizens and Nigerians to collect their PVC and be ready and willing to cast votes with their conscience and conviction during next month presidential and National Assembly elections and March governorship and House of Assembly elections.
In a statement issued to newsmen endorsed by Vincent Ezekwueme chairman and Chidi Mbah, Secretary tagged “join in the crusade to enthrone good leaders “reiterated their appeal for more senstization and mobilization of citizens by INEC, National Orientations Agency, CSO’s, religious, traditional, market leadership in order to improve voting strength of the southeast.
Remember that obtaining voters card is not enough, but most importantly coming out on election day and vote for best candidate of your choice.
Politics determines and derives socioeconomic, political, religious and cultural life of every nation.
If you fail, refuse and neglect to take interest in politics, politics will certainly take interest in you. Unfortunately, if bad leaders emerge, you don’t have moral right to complain, because instead to be solution, you are part of the problems because silence means consent.
“Silence in the face of evil is evil itself. Not to speak is to have spoken, not to act is to have acted. God will never hold the guiltless”. As a patriotic and law abiding citizen exercise, your civic responsibility by voting during every periodic election devoid of religious, ethnic or clans cleavages, but most competent, capable and credible candidates,” the CLO said.
