From Noah Ocheni, Lokoja

The Kogi state Resident Commissioner, Independent National Electoral Commission,(INEC),:Prof. James Apam on Tuesday in Lokoja assured the electorates and non governmental organisations of peaceful 2023 general election.

Apam gave the assurance when members of the coalition for Civic Education and Kogi state Network of Non governmental organisations paid him a courtesy visit at the Kogi INEC headquarters, Lokoja.

He attributed the low turnout in the previous elections in the state to harvest of violents usually perpetrated by politicians stressing that the electoral act has taken care of such pre supposed intention.

“Having seen the handwriting on the wall,” the commissioner pointed out that some politicians have since started voters education, door- to-door sensitisation of electorates at their various communities in the state.

He therefore charged various organisations working in Synergy with Kogi state Network of NGOs not to relent in the voters education exercise especially on the new polling units created to alleviate the suffering of electorates.

Apam who warned the public to desist from double registration in the ongoing voters registration stressed that deleting of such people from the system is ongoing too, assuring the group of the commission’s commitment to assist Non – governmental organisations in the monitoring of the 2023 general election.

Earlier, the state coordinator of Coalition Civic Education, (CCE) Comrade Mathias Okpanachi said thier goal is to mobilize and strengthen rural and urban communities on Civic responsibilities in Nigeria.

“Our core objectives is to educate, mobilize and sensitise Kogi state population on voter’s Education and electioneering matters and to partner with relevant stakeholders in the promotion of civic education programs and activities.”

He reiterated the commitment of their organisation to partner with INEC to improve voters turnout during election by creating awareness and sensitisation of people across the state.
