The New Democratic Congress governorship candidate in Kano State, Aminu Gwarzo, has urged all eligible residents who have yet to register with the Independent National Electoral Commission, especially youths and women, to make use of the commission’s new online portal and register from home using their National Identification Number before the July 24 deadline.

In a statement issued on Saturday by his spokesperson, Ibrahim Shuaibu, Gwarzo noted that INEC has launched a self-service registration platform that enables first-time voters to start and complete their registration online via cvr.inecnigeria.org.

He stressed the importance of voting as a vital way for citizens to express their opinions and influence the country’s democratic future.

“This new portal removes the barrier of long queues. Our young people, our mothers and sisters can now register at home using their phones or computers. There is no excuse not to participate.”
