2027: Voter registration first step to new Nigeria – Peter Obi

Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has called on Nigerians from every walk of life to intensify their efforts in voter registration.

In a post on his verified X handle on Thursday, Obi described voter registration as the first step to a new Nigeria.

He said that the power to change Nigeria does not begin on election day but with voter registration, noting that registering to vote is not just a civic responsibility but an investment in the future Nigeria desires.

“Yesterday, while passing through Waru Wazobia in Abuja, I made a chance stop to interact with our people. I seized the opportunity to encourage them, especially our youths and women, to take advantage of the ongoing voter registration exercise.

“I urge every eligible Nigerian who has not yet registered to do so without delay. Those who already have their voter cards should encourage their family members, friends, neighbours, and colleagues to register as well.

“A new Nigeria will not happen through wishful thinking. It will be built by citizens who participate, who believe, and who act. Let us continue to choose hope over despair, participation over apathy, and nation-building over division,” Obi wrote.
