Omoni Oboli releases mockumentary video promoting civic participation ahead of the upcoming elections

Omoni Oboli

Award-winning Nigerian actress and film maker, Omoni Oboli has just released a new Mockumentary titled: "The Citizen Vote Evangelist". 
The 8-minute video features the star cast as Modupe, a regular Nigerian who goes about her normal routine urging her friends, colleagues and neighbors on why it matters to cast their vote. 
The mockumentary drives home serious issues including; vote trading, voter apathy and electoral integrity but it is infused with humour and delivered in a casual format. 
"There is no way they are going to rig all 119,973 polling units," said Modupe in one of the scenes where she was challenged by a friend on the credibility of the elections. 
The video is part of #StepUpTheVote project - an initiative of Gatefield TV and the Open Society Initiative for West Africa - focused on ensuring increased participation and citizen awareness in the upcoming Nigerian 2019 general elections.
