“Our local government area officials are in the field to sensitize people on the need to update their voter cards in order to participate in the elections that would give the country better leaders come 2023,” the man of God stated. “At the moment, the project is mobilization for voter registration.

“After this, the mobilization will change to participation, choice of candidate to vote for, and securing of votes after the election to ensure that the people votes count.
