2027 Elections: Obi urges Nigerians to register, collect PVC.

Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has called on Nigerians to register and collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) ahead of the 2027 presidential elections. 

The former governor of Anambra State’s call comes as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) launched its Continuous Voter Registration exercise online on Monday, August 18 and is set begin at physical centres on August 25. 

Obi urged citizens to arm themselves with their voter cards to make electoral rigging difficult, calling it the greatest strength of democracy, stressing that the PVC is “the voice of the voiceless, the shield of the weak, and the weapon of the poor”.

He also warned against selling votes, which he described as “investing in corruption”, stating that doing so undercuts schools, hospitals, and jobs that could transform lives.
