Labour Party (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has charged Nigerian youths to register and vote in the forthcoming 2027 general elections if they want an improved country.
He made the call on Sunday in a post he shared on his official X page.
According to the former Anambra State governor, youths have the responsibility of shaping the country’s future.
He further emphasized that the voter’s card is the most powerful weapon against bad leadership, stressing that God will not come down to elect leaders for the country.
Speaking me via his vefiried social media handle he wrote, “Yesterday, I joined thousands of young people at the National Youth Rally marking the 40th Anniversary of the Catholic Youth Organisation of Nigeria, CYON, hosted by the Onitsha Ecclesiastical Province at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Awka.
“I reminded our youths that the task of nation-building rests on their shoulders.”
Obi added, “I urge every young Nigerian, especially those just turning 18, to register and vote. Your voter’s card is your most powerful weapon against bad leadership. Do not sell your vote—for once you do, you have also sold your healthcare, your education, and your future. God has blessed Nigeria, but He will not descend to elect leaders for us. That responsibility is ours”
He further said that to build a better Nigeria, the citizens must choose leaders with competence, capacity, compassion, and character..
