Speaking on the 2023 General elections, Mrs Imoni, called on them to be non partisan, adding that, “The nation is depending on Corps members to give free, fair and credible election come 2023. To achieve that, you must be non partisan. We expect you to say no to social vices and remember you are ambassadors of the NYSC and your family.”

Imoni added, “I encourage you to say no to hate speech in whatever form and see yourself as your brother’s and sister’s keeper. As Corps members, it behoves you to prepare yourself for the great task of nation building.”
