NOA Launches Grassroots Voter Mobilization in Adamawa for 2027 Elections

The National Orientation Agency (NOA) in Adamawa has started a grassroots voter mobilization campaign ahead of the 2027 general elections. The campaign, themed "Your Vote, Your Voice; Our Future: Say No to Voter Apathy, Vote Buying and Violence – Let’s Build a United Nigeria in 2027", aims to encourage eligible voters to participate in the electoral process. Benjamin Inuwa, acting state director of NOA, announced this initiative at a news briefing in Yola.

As part of the campaign, NOA plans to activate its local government area (LGA) offices to mobilize voters. The agency will also pay courtesy visits to emirs and chiefs to ensure a peaceful and successful election. Inuwa emphasized the importance of obtaining Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and urged eligible voters to shun vote selling. He encouraged young people to avoid political thuggery and the spread of fake news and misinformation.

Inuwa called on all candidates aspiring to political offices to conduct peaceful campaign rallies and control their utterances. He stressed that democracy thrives when citizens participate and that elections succeed when they are peaceful. The director encouraged eligible voters to have confidence in the electoral process and understand that their votes are their power.

He urged eligible voters to make sure they are properly registered, verify their polling units, and familiarize themselves with the electoral process as directed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Inuwa emphasized that participating in the electoral process is a constitutional right and civic responsibility.

The campaign aims to reach voters across Adamawa's 21 LGAs. NOA's initiative seeks to promote peaceful and successful elections by engaging with local communities. The agency's efforts focus on encouraging voter participation and promoting a culture of peaceful political engagement.

Inuwa's call to action emphasizes the importance of collective interest over narrow political considerations. He encouraged Nigerians to work together to build a united country.
