The CVR is being conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) across the country.

He particularly appealed to those yet to register in Ika Federal Constituency to strive to prioritize participation in the CVR as it relates to the reasons outlined

He urged political and other leaders to mobilise across all barriers to ensure the full participation of Ika Federal constituents in the CVR.
