Obedient Movement cautions Nigerians against selling voter cards
Members of the Abia chapter of the Obidient Movement have appealed to Abia residents and other Nigerians disappointed by the 2023 presidential election results to put the pain behind them.
The group also warned Nigerians against selling their Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs, or shunning the ongoing continuous voter registration exercise.
Speaking in Umuahia on Monday during a press conference, the group said that failure to exercise full voting rights would allow Nigeria to be “hijacked” by political enemies.
Addressing the press, the Abia State coordinator of Obidient Movement, Chukwuebuka Ezennaka, urged Nigerians of voting age who do not yet have PVCs to take advantage of the INEC registration window, while also encouraging those wishing to transfer their votes to do so.
The pro-Obi group warned that failing to obtain or properly use voting rights would amount to endorsing election rigging.
Launching the Go Get Your PVC campaign, Ezennaka reminded Nigerians that having and correctly using their PVCs will make election rigging more difficult.
He noted that the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, still believes in re-setting Nigeria, predicting that Obi will secure even more landslide victories across Nigerian states than he did in the 2023 polls.
Ezennaka said that INEC’s records show 2,120,808 persons registered in Abia in 2023, with 1,949,197, representing 91.9 per cent, having collected their PVCs. He promised that the pro-Obi movement will use the sensitisation campaign to increase Abia’s registration figure for 2027 to four million registered voters.
