Peter Obi has again urged Nigerians not to take the Continuous Voter Registration lightly, calling the Permanent Voter Card (PVC) the strongest weapon for a new Nigeria.
The 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate said the PVC remains “the voice of the voiceless, the shield of the weak, and the weapon of the poor against injustice and bad leadership.”
Obi, in a message posted on X, warned citizens never to sell their votes for short-term gains.
“The future of our dear nation is in your hands. The greatest strength of democracy is in the voter’s card,” he wrote.
He said politicians who buy votes are not giving charity but simply “investing in their own corruption.” To him, such people are not leaders, “they are criminals in disguise.”
Obi added that selling votes is like mortgaging one’s own future, and that of one’s children, denying them quality education, healthcare, and decent jobs.
Call for Responsible Leadership
Obi reminded citizens to choose leaders with competence, capacity, character, and compassion. He urged Nigerians not to be deceived, intimidated, or silenced during elections.
“The looters will only loot when we give them the opportunity. Your vote counts—if it doesn’t, they wouldn’t be desperately buying it,” he said.
He stressed that Nigeria’s democracy is at stake and that citizens must rise to protect it. “Our democracy is at stake. That is why I urge every eligible Nigerian to register, collect, and safeguard your PVC, and when the time comes, use it wisely,” he declared.
He ended with a call for hope and unity: “A New Nigeria is possible if we take responsibility for the change we desire. Let us stand together and prove that Nigeria belongs to the people, not to those who trade our future for selfish gain.”
Obi’s message raises a vital question for citizens: Will Nigerians finally unite to defend their votes, or will money politics continue to dominate the ballot? Share your thoughts in the comments.
