President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, has called on Nigerians
who have collected their permanent voter cards to exercise their
civic responsibility by voting their preferred candidates in the
Saturday’s general elections.
Saraki, who is also the Director General of the Peoples
Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Council, made the appeal on
Sunday in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and
Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu.
The senator, who highlighted several reasons why Nigerians need
to participate massively in the forthcoming elections, noted that
the results of the election cannot be manipulated if there is high
voter turnout.
He said, “We have all seen how the last four years have gone. It
is time for Nigerians across the nation to choose economic growth
over poverty; choose security over the growing and fast spreading
insecurity; and choose competent leadership over leadership that is
outdated.
“If you have ever questioned if Nigeria can be better, coming
out to vote with your friends and relatives who have PVCs next
Saturday will be your answer.
“It is not enough to tweet about this government or share
WhatsApp broadcasts, the time has come for all Nigerians to take
their future in their hands and vote for visionary leaders, Atiku
Abubakar, Peter Obi, and the PDP slate of candidates who are
promising a Better Nigeria and are ready to make Nigeria work
again.”
