Peter Obi Urges Nigerians to Use their PVC to End Bad Leadership
Former Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi is once again stressing the importance of the Permanent Voter Card (PVC), calling it the true bridge to a new Nigeria. In a post on his X handle, the former presidential candidate urged Nigerians, young and old, to see their PVC as more than just a card but as a weapon of change.
According to him, the PVC is the voice of the voiceless, the shield for the weak, and the tool of the poor to challenge injustice and failed leadership. He encouraged citizens to get organised, register, collect their PVCs, and make election rigging difficult.
Obi warned against vote buying, describing it as a dangerous trap. He said politicians who buy votes are not showing kindness but investing in corruption, using stolen mandates to loot public funds meant for schools, hospitals, and jobs. Also, he likened such leaders to criminals, no different from armed robbers and kidnappers, because of the destruction they cause.
He also cautioned voters against selling their votes, saying it is not just selling an election but selling away opportunities that could uplift families from poverty. In addition, he pointed out that selling votes means trading away the hospitals that could save loved ones, the schools children deserve, and the jobs that bring dignity.
As Nigeria looks ahead to the 2027 elections, Obi called on citizens to take responsibility for building the country they dream of. He urged them to safeguard their PVCs and use them wisely, voting for leaders with competence, character, and compassion.
In essence, his message reminds Nigerians that the power to change the nation lies in their hands. “Nigeria belongs to the people, not to those who trade our future for their selfish gain,” he said.

‘Government Prioritizes Money More’ — PDP Calls Out FG On New Tax Law
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
