THE Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, and his counterparts in Oyo and Abia states, Seyi Makinde and Okezie Ikpeazu, respectively, on Tuesday flagged off the e-registration and Continuous Voter Registration in Anambra State ahead of the November gubernatorial poll.

Obaseki, who is also the Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party e-Registration Committee, expressed confidence that the PDP would emerge victorious in the forthcoming election.

He said, “Anambra State is the first state that we are launching the e-registration and CVR exercise as we were charged, as the committee on e-registration, to commence the exercise following the forthcoming election on November 6, 2021.

“With the exercise, we can register you in our portal as PDP members and also register you with the Independent National Electoral Commission if you are not a voter. The process is very simple,” he noted.

Stating the importance of the exercise in the nation’s electoral process, Obaseki noted that e-registration would make it impossible and difficult to rig the election as against the former practice of writing result at collation centres.

He urged PDP members to take the e-registration exercise seriously to boost membership as it would create room for the party to win the election.

On his part, Makinde noted, “If I can win election with just one member in the Oyo State House of Assembly, you can also do the same. Don’t be discouraged.

“With the e-registration, it will be difficult to write results. They couldn’t rig the Edo election; they can’t also do it here. We will all rejoice come November 6, 2021 after the governorship election.”

Speaking, Ikpeazu charged party members to embrace the registration exercise, adding, “We must come out en-masse to register from the comfort of our homes. The process is easy. No time to stand back but stand firm to stop the suffering and hardship in the nation by supporting PDP all the way to 2023.”

Former vice-presidential candidate of the PDP, Dr. Peter Obi, commended the governors of Edo, Oyo and Abia states for coming to support the party’s guber candidate, Valentine Ozigbo.
