Hon. Engr Esosa Iyawe FNSE Urges Nigerians to Seize Voter Registration Window: “Only the PVC Can Guarantee the Right Leadership”

As the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) resumes its Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) ahead of the 2027 general elections, the House of Representatives member representing Oredo Federal Constituency, Hon. Engr. Esosa Iyawe FNSE, has issued a clarion call to Nigerians, especially the youth, to take full advantage of the exercise.

In a communication with iReporterOnline correspondents, Iyawe emphasized that voter registration remains the most powerful tool for citizens to enthrone credible leadership.

“The Permanent Voter’s Card is not just an identification card; it is the ultimate weapon of democracy. If we truly want leaders who reflect the will of the people, then participation in this registration exercise is non-negotiable,” he said.

The lawmaker noted that while Oredo constituents have continually entrusted him with their mandate, the power to deliver on promises springs directly from their voter participation. He pointed to his interventions in youth empowerment initiatives and the facilitation of community-based infrastructure projects in Oredo as evidence of what people’s mandate can achieve when properly harnessed.

He stressed that the ongoing CVR is not just an Oredo affair but a national opportunity, urging all eligible Nigerians who have just turned 18 or who are yet to register to do so promptly, both online and physically at INEC centers nationwide.

“This is about the future. If our young people register and vote, they will not just be observers of Nigeria’s democracy but active shapers of its direction,” Iyawe added.

With over 811 registration centers spread across Nigeria—including all 774 local government areas—the process has been designed to be seamless. Iyawe maintained that failure to participate in the CVR means forfeiting the right to complain about poor governance.

As 2027 draws closer, his message is clear: the journey to credible leadership begins with the simple but decisive act of voter registration.
