The Obidient Movement has urged Nigerian youths to get their Permanent Voters Cards, PVCs, ahead of the 2027 elections.
The Movement made the call while launching the Go MERD campaign.
Go MERD stands for Get Organised – Make Election Rigging Difficult.
Speaking during the launch, the National Coordinator, Yunusa Tanko declared that a new Nigeria is possible.
He said: “In response to the urgent national clamour for the rescue of our beloved nation and the birth of a New Nigeria, the Obidient Movement is excited to announce the launch of a new campaign, “A
New Nigeria is Possible- Get Your PVC & GO MERD”.
“The GO MERD acronym stands for Get Organised- Make Election Rigging Difficult, which underscores our new focus as we head into the 2027 election season.
“It is our plan to mobilise millions of Nigerians into organised voting blocs, ensure that every eligible citizen has a Permanent Voter’s Card, and protect the integrity of the 2027 elections.
“To protect the integrity of the 2027 elections and ensure more Nigerians participate in the democratic process, the GO MERD campaign has a straightforward mission: in every polling unit across Nigeria, every Obidient will either lead or join a voting bloc of at least 100 Nigerians in their polling unit.
“We will work to achieve 100% PVC ownership in each bloc. We will go door-to-door, help people get to registration points, and recruit 1,500 values-based leaders to run for office under the Obidient platform.
“In 2027, we will turn out en masse to vote out bad leaders, defend the process with one million trained vote protectors, and use technology.
“As Obidients, we believe that a new Nigeria is one where food is affordable, communities are secure, healthcare works, education equips our young people for the future, rural areas are connected to markets, women have equal opportunities, businesses can grow without harassment, and the diaspora can return home with pride.
“For our children, it is about building a country where patriotism is not a burden, but a thing of joy.
“I call on every Obidient and every Nigerian who believes in a better future to take part in this campaign. Do not leave it for others.
“You can: Get your PVC or help at least ten others to get theirs. Create or join a voting bloc at Obidients.com.
“Mobilise your friends, neighbours, colleagues, and family to register and prepare to vote.”
