The Nigerian Civil Society Situation Room has asked Nigerians to align themselves with political parties or candidates of their choice based on their inert conviction of the party’s ideology as well as the proven capacity of the candidate to deliver on campaign promises.
Making the request in Abuja, Convener, Ene Obi equally urged citizens who took part in the Continuous Voter Registration in 2021 to endeavour to visit INEC offices in various Local Government Areas of the country to pick up their Permanent Voter’s Card (PVCs). The situation room urged party supporters to refrain from cyber bullying, and learn to accommodate different views, opinions and preferences.
While promising to observe and document infractions during the 2023 campaign activities, the situation room called for strict enforcement of electoral laws.
