Former President Goodluck Jonathan has called on young Nigerians to actively engage in the country’s electoral process.
He gave the advice on Thursday, when a large number of youths stormed his residence, appealing to him to run in the 2027 presidential race.
Speaking to the crowd, Jonathan stated that the youths were demanding his return, but most of them did not have their Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs).
He urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to carefully look at the growing apathy in Nigeria, lamenting that Nigerians are not interested in elections.
He said that young citizens of the country “must be involved in the electoral process
Lamenting the prevailing voter apathy in the country, Jonathan told the youths, “Probably 50% of you don’t even have voters card and you are asking me to go and contest the election”.
