After Primaries, Let’s Vote Wisely At Elections, Group Urges Nigerians

Following the conclusion of primary elections by all the political parties in choosing their candidates, a non-denominational group, the Christian Conscience Group, has urged Nigerians to pick up their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) so as to elect credible and God-fearing candidates during the general elections in 2023.

The group said Nigerians who are yet to begin or conclude the process of getting their PVCs should take advantage of the remaining window period allowed by INEC to do so.

Rising from its monthly meeting yesterday, the Christian Conscience Group commended the political parties in ensuring internal democracy thrive in their parties while urging them to replicate  these laudable efforts during the 2023 general elections, so that Nigerians will have cause to enjoy dividends of democracy.

The group’s position was made available to the media yesterday at lkeja by Tunji Oguntuase, National Publicity Director and was jointly signed by it’s National Chairman, Dr. Mrs. Yetunde Akinluyi and the National Secretary, The Revd. Dr. Kolawole Verralls.

“To some sceptics who never believe in the Nigeria agenda or trust in our political leaders to organise acceptable and credible primaries amongst themselves, it has clearly shown that, despite little challenges and hiccups, Nigeria is gradually moving to the Promised Land where the issues of internal democracy are discussed in the comity of Nations.

“We watched keenly with bated breath on how the outcome of the primaries in all political parties, especially the leading ones will come out without rancur and disagreement, but was surprised that high sense of maturity were displayed by the parties, hence the successes recorded by all of them in arriving at acceptable candidates,” Dr. Mrs. Yetunde Akinluyi, the National Chairman,  Christian Conscience Group said.

The buck, according to the her now lies on the door step of Nigerians to elect credible, acceptable, God fearing candidates that will take us to the Promised Land of economy bouyancy, adequate security of lives and property as well as job creation for our youths.

The statement also said the issue of electricity must also be addressed.

 “Most artisans and Nigerians’ means of livelihood, depend on this epileptic and undependable supply of power, hence when the issue of electricity is adequately addressed, the informal sector of the economy will pick up and the Nation will be better for it”

The group finally urged the candidates from all parties to put on their thinking caps as to how  average Nigerians will be proud of the Nation when their programmes touches them positively when elected.
