Peter Obi Urges Nigerians To Secure PVCs Ahead Of 2027 Election

Peter Obi has called PVC the “voice of the voiceless,” urging Nigerians to secure their cards against 2027

Obi, who said with the PVC, Nigerians could make rigging difficult in the 2027 election, described the PVC as the most powerful tool to tackle bad leadership, saying the power to build a better Nigeria was in citizens’ hands.

The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election said this in a statement shared on X on Monday.

Obi, who also described PVC as “the voice of the voiceless”, enjoined Nigerians to cast their votes for leaders of competence, character, capacity, and compassion.

“The future of our dear nation is in your hands. The greatest strength of democracy is in the voter’s card. Your PVC is the voice of the voiceless, the shield of the weak, and the weapon of the poor for a better life, against injustice and bad leadership.

“I appeal to every Nigerian: Get organised and make election rigging difficult. Go out, register, collect your PVC, and hold it firmly as your bridge to a new Nigeria.

“Let us know this: those who buy votes are not offering you charity; they only invest in their own corruption. They buy votes so that they can buy their way into our treasury to steal public money.

“When they get into that office, they will loot the funds that should have been used to build schools, hospitals or provide good jobs. Such people are not leaders; they are criminals in disguise. They are no better than killers, armed robbers, and kidnappers, because they commit the same crime of destruction.”

“Let us stand together and prove that Nigeria belongs to the people, not to those who trade our future for their selfish gain. Register to vote, because a new Nigeria starts with you.”
