APC's Atinuke Owolabi Launches Voter Education Campaign

Engineer Atinuke Owolabi, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and member of the President Bola Tinubu/APC 2027 Presidential Campaign Council, has expressed alarm over a 73% voter apathy rate in Aramoko-Ekiti. During a community engagement program, she revealed that out of 988,923 registered voters in Ekiti State, only 315,058 were accredited in the 2023 presidential election, with 308,171 valid votes cast and 6,301 rejected.

In Aramoko I and II, there were 17,426 registered voters, but only 4,680 votes were cast, indicating that approximately 12,746 voters did not participate. To address this issue, Owolabi launched a community voter sensitization campaign aimed at increasing electoral participation and reducing rejected votes before the 2027 elections.

The program, themed “My Vote, My Voice,” focused on educating residents about the importance of voting and the electoral process. Owolabi emphasized the need for voter education to strengthen democracy, particularly in rural areas.
