From Chuks Collins, Awka
TANElectorates who have not registered with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), especially in the 12 states where the exercise has been extended have been called on to use the opportunity adequately.
This call was made by the Director of Operations of the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria(TAN), a political advocacy group, Mr Benchuks Nwosu while speaking with journalists in Awka yesterday.

He commended INEC for being pro-active, which he noted enabled the commission to realize the need for an extension in the affected states of the federation, that included Anambra state

Nwosu stated that now that INEC has given the people ample opportunity to get registered, it is left for the people that are yet to be registered do so without any delay so that they can perform their civic responsibilities whenever occasion demands for that.

He particularly called on Anambra people who could not register earlier due to heavy floods and rains during the regular time to ensure that they take advantage of the extention offered by INEC. He noted that good governance and democracy thrive when the electorates take interest in the electoral process that produces their leaders.

The TAN’s director also challenged political parties to carry out intensive mobilization of their followers to get registered as failure to do so will only reduce their strength during the election forthcoming general elections. He urged them to conduct themselves peacefully and maturely while doing so.
