The Asiwaju Mandate Group has said it will mobilise voters across Ondo State to ensure the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
The group’s Director-General, Asiwaju Asagunla, said the organisation was established to boost political participation and encourage eligible voters to exercise their civic responsibilities.
According to a statement by Asagunla on Friday, speaking during a stakeholders’ meeting at the AMG Secretariat, he said voter apathy remained a major challenge in Nigeria, noting that a large number of registered voters often fail to participate in elections.
He said Ondo State had nearly two million registered voters, but only about 600,000 usually turn out to vote during elections.
Asagunla said, “Out of two million voters in Ondo State, only 600,000 voters usually vote, leaving the remaining 1.4 million voters unattended.”
He called for measures to discourage voter apathy, including possible penalties for citizens who fail to participate
