“The selfless service you render to communities in Gombe State is a bold statement that an enlightened electorate is the foundation of a better Nigeria. Keep up the good work,” he said.

The REC also revealed that the sensitisation campaign would feature a series of activities designed to deepen voter awareness. These include road shows, market outreach across the state’s 11 Local Government Areas, sensitisation in places of worship, and voter education programs on the radio. Following the flag-off, staff of the Voter Education and Publicity Department, alongside the INEC Ambassadors, took to major streets and busy areas within the state capital to engage residents and distribute flyers on the CVR exercise.
