“The CVR is not just for those who are voting for the first time; it is also open to anyone aged 18 and above who needs to register as a new voter, as well as those looking to collect, transfer or replace their PVCs,” Peller informed.

Furthermore, the former federal lawmaker stressed how crucial it is for every eligible Nigerian to participate in the electoral process, adding that PVC is a tool required to enable them select the leaders who will shape the future of the nation across all levels of government.

“I cannot stress enough how crucial it is for each and every one of you to participate in this process; your vote matters, and it is a vital tool in ensuring that we have leaders who truly represent our interests and aspirations,” the Oke Ogun-born businessman cum politician remarked.

Concluding, he urged all eligible Nigerians to take a moment to complete their registration online via INEC portal, https://cvr.inecnigeria.org/pvc, adding that their participation is essential for a stronger, more united Nigeria.
