APC Chieftain Raises Alarm Over 73% Voter Apathy, Launches Community Sensitisation in Ekiti Ahead of 2027
By Gbenga Sodeinde in Ado Ekiti With political activities gradually gathering momentum ahead of the 2027 general election, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and member of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain Engineer Atinuke Owolabi has expressed concern over the high rate of voter apathy in Aramoko-Ekiti ahead of the 2027 general election. Owolabi, a member of the President Bola Tinubu/APC 2027 Presidential Campaign Council, revealed that out of the 17,426 registered voters in the two wards of Aramoko I and II, only 4,680 cast their votes in the 2023 presidential election, which translates to approximately 73% of the electorate not participating.
To address this issue, Owolabi launched a community voter sensitisation campaign titled "My Vote, My Voice." The programme aimed to educate residents about the importance of voting, promote greater participation in elections, and improve understanding of the electoral process. The PBAT-MOB Aramoko Community Engagement and voter education programme discussed the correct way to vote, the identification of polling units and the use of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
Owolabi emphasized the need for improved information dissemination to reduce rejected votes and boost electoral participation in future elections.
