THE POWER OF ELECTORATE: YOU ARE HERE ARGUING, DEBATING, POSTULATING... GOOD GOVERNANCE BUT YOU HAVE NO PVC

Nigeria has a population of 180 million people out of which 68.8 million registered and were eligible to vote during the 2015 General election. Simply put it, only 38% of our population registered with INEC as eligible voters. Meanwhile based on data from National Population Commission and National Bureau for Statistics, Nigeria has over 61% of its population eligible to register as voters.

Funny enough only 28,587,564 turnout to vote on the day of the general election, which is just 15.9% of our population.  15% determined the fate of 85% that refused to register or turn up for elections.

You are all over facebook, twitter and whatsApp arguing, debating, postulating and proposing good governance but you have no PVC.

You claimed you are exposed, schooled, learned, fear God and you daily pray for God to bring good governance to his people, yet you have no PVC. Faith without works is dead. If you like prophesy, cast all the demons and annoint Nigeria, if you have no PVC, you can't stand up to be counted.

Always know that bad politicians are not born but are product of people like you who don't vote.

Do you have your PVC?
Go to the nearest INEC office in your LGA to register.

MY STORY
I felt challenged after reading this piece, but summoned the courage to go collect my PVC.
I am now empowered.

I discovered that there are still heaps of PVCs in my Local Government as more than 8000 of the very important document are yet to be collected by their owners.
Clearly, more awareness needs to be created for people to go and collect their PVCs and fresh eligible voters to be registered.
