The lawmaker representing Fune/Fika Federal Constituency of Yobe State, Hon. Muhammad Buba Jajere, has issued a clarion call to youths and stakeholders of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to seize the opportunity of the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking in Damaturu, Jajere stressed that voter registration is not only a civic duty but also the most powerful tool for citizens to influence governance and development.
“This is a crucial opportunity for our youths, particularly those just attaining voting age, to register and secure their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs). The PVC remains the only legal instrument with which citizens can effect change at the ballot,” the lawmaker declared.
He emphasized that the success of the democratic process depends heavily on active participation, urging all eligible Yobeans to make voter registration a top priority. According to him, the CVR exercise is more than a routine—it is the gateway to ensuring voices are heard and communities are represented in national decision-making.
Jajere further encouraged young people not only to register but also to become card-carrying members of political parties so they can aspire for elective offices.
“Beyond voting, our youths must position themselves as leaders of tomorrow by joining political parties. That is how they can move from the sidelines into real decision-making,” he noted.
Commending the leadership of the PDP at both state and national levels, the lawmaker assured party leaders of the unwavering support of Yobe youths. He also called on men, women, and the elderly to cooperate fully with the PDP leadership to strengthen the party’s base ahead of the next polls.
“Our constituency is committed to supporting this registration process and ensuring that every eligible citizen participates freely. Together, we can shape a future that delivers true progress for Yobe and Nigeria at large,” he concluded.
