2027:NEDMO Urges Nigerians To Register En masse

A sociopolitical organization, New Direction for Nigeria Movement, NEDMO, has called on all Nigerians above 18 years old to go and register in readiness to vote in the forthcoming 2027 general elections “because that’s the only way to ensure that we elect credible candidates with integrity into public offices in 2027”.

In a Press Release signed by the group’s National Convener, Comrade Mark Adebayo in Abuja, the group urged Nigerians who are 18 years and above to carry out their civic duties by going to INEC’s designated centers and register.

“The strength of democracy is citizens’ mass participation. In a participatory democracy, the citizens largely determine who to entrust with the country’s leadership at various levels.

“Voter apathy, among other factors, is the reason why our elections produce unsatisfactory results.

“As the 2027 general elections approach, we call on all qualified Nigerians not only to register, but register to vote during elections because that’s the only way to ensure that we elect credible candidates with integrity and capacity into public offices in 2027 and beyond.

“To register and not vote is exactly tantamount not having registered. A situation where less than 20% of registered voters or less actually vote during our elections gives opportunity to election riggers to triumph at our elections which automatically results in bad choices for the country, and bad choices produce bad leadership which in turn produces bad governance.”

New Direction for Nigeria Movement, NEDMO, is a grassroots, independent mass-based organization with structures in over 500 LGAs across the country with thousands of members working together as a voting bloc to support the election of credible candidates of their choice at elections.

The Movement is mobilizing to reach over 20 million members nationwide. It has event outlines in free, fair, and election.
