As part of efforts by the Rivers State government to ensure that all eligible voters register during the ongoing voters’ registration exercise, the State Governor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi will today, take his sensitisation campaign to some major markets in Port Harcourt.

A statement from the office of the Ag. Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Blessing Wikina, said the governor is expected to meet with market women at the Creek Road, Mile One and Mile Three markets among others.

Mr. Wikina restated the commitment of the State Government to encourage all eligible voters to register, noting that “the governor’s desire to meet with the traders is borne out of the need to ensure that market women are accorded equal opportunities, even in registration for voters card”.

“The world is looking up to Nigeria to make votes count in the April polls and as a state we also need to make the votes of our people count”, hence, the call on all to register the statement said.

The Governor  commended the people of the state for their enthusiasm towards the exercise so far, reminding them however that “we shall not rest until every eligible voter in the state is registered”.

Governor Chibuike Amaechi had earlier made similar visit to multinational companies and some communities in the state since the registration commenced.
