Ahead of the launch of iWALK initiative on Monday, October 3, 2023 across the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), delegates of the Project Victory Call Initiative, popularly known as PVC-NAIJA, on Friday, September 2, 2022, paid a courtesy visit to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police (CP) Abiodun Alabi at his office at the State Command Headquarters, Ikeja, Nigeria.
The PVC-NAIJA team comprising the President, Dr. Bolaji O. Akinyemi and the Director Projects, informed the police boss of its core mandate of Political Advocacy and intimated the police boss of the programmes that have been undertaken so far for nation building by the nongovernmental organisation.
The President commended the Commissioner for the improved security in Lagos and the prompt responsiveness from the person of the commissioner on the available public lines.
The commissioner on his part expressed his pleasure at receiving the PVC-NAIJA and mentioned that he felt honoured by the visit.
He commended the iWALK initiative as being timely as a way to safeguard democracy and make people vote properly.
The iWalk event is also part of unique activities to mark the Independence Anniversary of Nigeria next month.
Dr. Akinyemi had in a statement last week said, “Good governance is at the mercy of process, a compromised process can’t effect order as desired.
“Emotions, sentiments and reactions must not be left wild but streamlined and managed to achieve our collective dreams.
“In the midst of this season’s political upheaval, Leadership, as we can observe is the need of the Nigerian youths”.
iWalk is a project of Project Victory Call Initiative (PVC-Naija) conceived to immediately provide a rallying point for all true democrats.
It is part of genuine efforts by the nongovernmental organisation to save Nigeria’s democracy from degenerating into a cash-and-carry process for the highest bidder and deep pocketed politicians by walking to say No, to vote buying.
In order to control the walk, ensure security and aid planning ahead of the programme, captains for unit of 100 participants will be appointed, necessitating pre-registration, the organisers said.

The registration portal will be closed on the 25th of September, the organisers said.
