ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES, AND THE IMPLICATIONS OF POOR VOTER PARTICIPATION IN A DEMOCRACY ARE DIRE.

By:  Hon Fidel Odiase

If participatory democracy is indeed the best form of government, every citizen must be involved in this process, especially the youths. Your voter’s card is your power to ensure continuity of excellent government or removal of bad government at the local, state, and federal levels.

... A better Nigeria is possible
