2023 Presidency: SWAGA Begins Campaign, Distributes Android Phones In Lagos

Ahead of the 2023 general election, the South West Agenda for Asiwaju 2023 (SWAGA) has distributed Android phones to ward leaders in Coker-Aguda and Itire-Ikate Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) registration.

Chairman of Lagos Women for SWAGA Mrs Omobolanle Akinyemi-Obe said the gesture was to make each ward has the opportunity to have access to voter’s registration online portal for everybody in the councils.

Instead of going to the INEC office for registration, Mrs Akinyemi-Obe said the phones would make it easier to register online for their Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC).

“We want all that are of voting age to register; women traders and entrepreneurs who find it difficult to queue at the INEC office should take advantage of this exercise to register at their convenience. With this, we can put an end to voter’s apathy,” she said.

Akinyemi-Obe, the immediate past Chairman of Coker/Aguda LCDA, reminded the gathering that voting are not carried out on social media.

This, he said, will save them from queuing at the INEC office for PVC.

His wife, Mrs Oluchi Ibrahim, described the gesture as a bold step of making it easier for those who are yet to register and for the ones that lost their PVCs to get another one.

Vice-Chairman of Itire-Ikate LCDA Yetunde Gimba urged youths to act on the election through their PVCs.

“Without PVCs, you can’t vote for the people of your choice. Let’s go for our PVCs and vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2023,” she said.
