Vanguards of Democracy Condemns Launch of New National ID Cards

April 12, 2024:

The Vanguards of Democracy (VOD), a leading pro-democracy and good governance advocacy group, strongly condemns the recent announcement by the National Identity Management Commission regarding the launch of three new national ID cards for 104 million Nigerians.

The decision to introduce additional national ID cards amidst existing challenges within Nigeria's identity card system is deeply concerning. With various ID cards already in circulation but not effectively implemented, the introduction of new initiatives represents a gross misallocation of resources, time, and taxpayer funds.

It is evident that the priority should be on improving the functionality and efficiency of existing identity card systems rather than introducing new ones.

Vanguards of Democracy (VOD) calls on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to prioritize the needs of the Nigerian people and cancel the launch of these new ID cards.

Furthermore, we urge the federal government to focus on addressing pressing issues such as healthcare, education, infrastructure, and security, which are essential for the advancement of the nation and the well-being of its citizens.

The Vanguards of Democracy (VOD) remains committed to advocating for transparency, accountability, and responsible governance in Nigeria.

We will continue to monitor developments closely and hold leaders accountable for their actions.

The statement is signed by Nze Ugo-Akpe Onwuka (Oyi), National President, Vanguards Of Democracy (VOD)

NIGERIANS, PROFESSOR MAHMOUD YAKUBU, AND THE LONG WALK TO A VIRILE AND STABLE DEMOCRACY.

As Nigerians cry for justice over the 2023 general elections, it's interesting to note that citizens are standing aloof and watching as Mahmood Yakubu and INEC are mute over the Supreme Court ruling of the 24th of March, 2023 that has reaffirmed Chief Edozie Njoku as the authentic National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance APGA.

"it is not only the man who successfully r**es a minor in the market place and walks away that is guilty, but also those that were standing around, watching the r**e happen without raising a finger to stop it".

Are we really serious about justice or we call for justice when it is convenient?

Join the discussion at 9:00 pm on Monday 17th of April, 2023.
