Mr Peter Obi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate for the 2027 election, has urged every eligible Nigerian to register to vote without delay, describing the exercise as “an investment in the Nigeria we all desire”.
Mr Obi made the call after making impromptu visits to INEC voter registration centres at the Civic Centre in Nibo and Nrijiofor Primary School in Nri, Anambra State, on his return to the state yesterday.
In a post on his X handle, the former Anambra governor said he was pleased to see Nigerians turning out to register. He took the opportunity to commend those already registered and to encourage all eligible citizens to follow suit.
“I reminded them that the journey to good governance does not begin on Election Day; it begins with voter registration,” Mr Obi wrote.
“Registering to vote is not just a civic responsibility — it is an investment in the Nigeria we all desire.”
He appealed to those who have already registered to encourage their family members, friends, neighbours and colleagues to take advantage of the ongoing exercise before the deadline.
“Every registered voter strengthens our democracy and brings us one step closer to building the secure, united, productive and prosperous Nigeria we all seek,” he added.
