Ondo Decide: Your Voice is more than just a choice; it’s your Voice” – INEC Tell Nigerians
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has called on the citizens of Ondo State to participate actively in the upcoming gubernatorial election on November 16, 2024.
In a recent statement, INEC emphasized the importance of voting, declaring, “Your VOTE is more than just a choice; it’s your VOICE.” This message aims to remind voters that their participation is crucial in shaping the future of their state. The commission also stressed that “every single vote matters” and urged all eligible voters to “make yours count.”
However, many Nigerians have expressed anger and frustration towards INEC in the wake of these remarks. Citizens across social media platforms have accused the commission of inconsistency and inefficiency in previous elections, citing delayed election results and perceived lack of transparency. Some have called INEC derogatory names, accusing the body of failing to ensure free and fair elections in the past.
Despite the outcry, INEC continues to assure voters that measures are being put in place to guarantee a credible election in Ondo State. The commission’s message highlights the power of each individual vote and encourages citizens not to be discouraged by past experiences. As the election date approaches, it remains to be seen whether the electorate’s trust in INEC will improve or if skepticism will dampen voter turnout. Nevertheless, the outcome of this election will be a significant test for Nigeria’s electoral process.
