APC Registration’ll Ensure Greater Political Participation-Oyedele
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, Engineer Ife Oyedele, has said the ongoing registration exercise of the party is an opportunity for greater political participation and more Nigerians to make their voice heard.
He made this known in a statement issued to call on the people, especially members of the APC, to ensure that they participate in the on-going registration/revalidation exercise.
Oyedele said it is not enough Nigerians are yearning for good governance from the political class, but also that the generality of the people take part in the political activities in the country.
“The change we desire will not take place without political participation. For so long, a larger percentage of us have desired to have a better socio-political system. However, we often shy away from getting involved in the process through which we can achieve this,” he said.
Oyedele said democracy cannot be truly defined as the government of the people, by the people and for the people if the people do not participate in the process that brings the government.
He said: “Governance is not meant for a few but for all. It hinges on our intentional and genuine efforts to be politically conscious. This only can be achieved through our involvement in the process.
“The APC nationwide makes the clarion call for each and everyone of us to join the ruling party, even as we seek to turn the lot of nation around for good. It is our duty as patriotic citizens to heed this call.”
Oyedele also commended President Muhammadu Buhari for his commitment to strengthening democracy and called on party members in Ondo South Senatorial District to ensure that they participate in the registration exercise.
“Our clime will surely be better when we take that bold step to be intentionally and consciously involved in our political process. I enjoin you all to go and register.
“I assure you that the process is open and that there will be no intimidation or manipulations. The APC is founded on good values and norms that can help steer our ship to the promise land to a better and great Nigeria,” Oyedele added.
