Action Democratic Party in Oyo State has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission to increase its facilities towards capturing more eligible voters during the extended period for registration.
The party, in a statement signed by its Acting Media Relations Officer, Alhaja Quadrat Adewoyin, in Ibadan, counseled INEC to move registration centres around the state.
It urged INEC to move the centres to locations where the registration exercise had not taken place.
The party commended INEC for the extension of the exercise by two weeks, stating that it would hopefully help more voters in the state to register ahead of the 2019 elections.
It said: “It is commendable that INEC has over time opened its doors to eligible voters to register.
“We advise that INEC should move registration centres to many areas where complaints have been loud about unavailability of registration centres.”
The party listed some of the areas to include: Apata, Foko, Beyerunka, Agbowo, Eyin Girama, Akobo, Olorunda Aba, Ologuneru, Arulogun, Sango, Apete, Sanyo and Soka.
The ADP called on members of the public to take advantage of the extension to register.
It said: “It is our right and responsibility to elect leaders of our choice.
“Our quest for good governance in the state can only be achieved if we vote to elect responsible and compassionate people into government.
“Such right to entrench good governance in the state is only available to those who obtain their Permanent Voter Cards.”
