Ward Six of Ubulu-Unor in Aniocha South Local Government Area of Delta State witnessed a major boost in political and civic participation as the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Youth Mobilisation, High Chief (Amb.) Mayor Chinedu Enujeko, facilitated the registration of residents for the All Progressives Congress (APC) e-registration, National Identification Number (NIN), and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) continuous voter registration.
The exercise, which targeted APC members and eligible voters in the ward, provided residents with easier access to enrolment processes that had previously posed challenges due to logistics, distance, and lack of documentation. More than 270 people were successfully registered during the exercise.
The initiative began on Thursday, January 15, 2026, with a sensitisation campaign across Ubulu-Unor. Ad-hoc staff recruited by Enujeko went round the community educating residents on the importance of registering with the APC, the ruling party at the federal, state, and local government levels. During the outreach, it was discovered that many residents lacked NIN, a mandatory requirement for APC e-registration.
To address this challenge and ensure no one was excluded from the registration exercise as directed by the APC National Working Committee, Enujeko stepped in to handle all logistics. He mobilised residents to NIN and INEC offices in Asaba and Ogwashi-Uku using chartered buses, covering all transportation and related expenses.
However, despite the effort, challenges were encountered. According to information obtained by Samest Media, NIN officials at Ogwashi-Uku were unable to register even a single person after more than eight hours of waiting on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, despite five buses conveying residents from Ubulu-Unor.
Undeterred by the setback, Enujeko explored alternative solutions. He secured arrangements with a private NIN registration agency and personally covered the registration costs to ensure that residents obtained their NIN and became eligible for APC e-registration.
The exercise took a new turn on Friday, January 24, 2026, when NIN officials were brought directly to Ubulu-Unor to register residents within the community. As at the time of filing this report, over 270 persons had been successfully enrolled for NIN and APC e-registration simultaneously, with arrangements also in place to support INEC continuous voter registration.
Speaking at his country home in Ubulu-Unor, Enujeko assured that the exercise would continue for the remaining days approved by both the APC and INEC. He pledged that every eligible voter and APC member without a voter’s card or official party registration would be accommodated.
He urged party members, especially those who had previously shown little interest in party activities, to take advantage of the opportunity, stressing that participation was crucial in a digital governance era.
“Government operations are now fully digital. NIN and e-registration are no longer optional, just like BVN in banking,” Enujeko said, adding that party members who fail to register risk missing out on future benefits and opportunities.
Enujeko, an indigene of Ubulu-Unor and APC stalwart in Ward Six, said the initiative was part of his commitment to grassroots mobilisation and inclusive political participation in line with the vision of the Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori.
