Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate Peter Obi has urged Nigerians, especially young people and women, to take advantage of the ongoing voter registration exercise, describing it as the foundation for building a new Nigeria.
Sharing his experience after an unscheduled stop at Waru Wazobia in Abuja, Obi said he used the opportunity to encourage residents to register, stressing that the journey to national transformation begins long before Election Day.
According to him, voter registration is not just a civic duty but an investment in Nigeria’s future, urging every eligible Nigerian who has not registered to do so without delay.
He also called on those who already possess their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to mobilise family members, friends, neighbours, and colleagues to participate in the exercise.
Obi maintained that “A New Nigeria will not happen through wishful thinking. It will be built by citizens who participate, who believe, and who act,” urging Nigerians to choose hope over despair, participation over apathy, and nation-building over division.
