National Association of Seadogs (NAS) has urged eligible Nigerian electorate to vote and ensure that their votes count in the 2023 general elections.
Capoon, Olympus Marino Deck, Rivers State, number one branch, of NAS, Iche Cecil Wordu, made the appeal on Saturday, at the ‘Weekend of Service to Humanity’ free medical outreach, to mark the 70th anniversary of the association.
Wordu said NAS, which is also known as Pyrates Confraternity, is concerned about Nigerians electing good leaders in the forthcoming election, who have the foresight and leadership traits to address the challenges of the country.
He said: “What we have done with our programme called ‘Our votes count’, we mobilise millions of Nigerians across the country from every branch to participate in the voter’s registration exercise. We provided avenues where these registrations are done. That is the only way we can support democracy.
“We will only tell Nigerians to be very careful when they make their choice. You have seen the economy; you have seen developmental trajectory of Nigeria. So, you need to look at all the candidates and choose the best that you believe that will deliver on the dividends of democracy, to provide rule of law, and, of course, protect Nigerian citizens from insecurity.
“So, Nigerians should open their minds and choose that particular candidate that they feel will meet their aspirations and take away poverty because the country is blessed. It is just that we have bad leadership.
