Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), has urged university authorities to give students at least, a one-week holiday to be able to vote in the forthcoming elections.

Speaking at a meeting on Monday evening with members of the European Union Election Observation Mission (EU-EOM), obi said there are over three million students who are eligible to vote.

“I am sure INEC will do the right thing. I am sure the universities will give them the break to go and vote. It is important because it is about their future. This election is about these young people and I’m sure they will allow them to go and vote. We will continue to mention it to them as we go along,” Obi said.

“For me now, what is important is ensuring that people collect their PVCs. There are some areas where people are still complaining that they are being denied their PVCs for one reason or the other. INEC must give them attention.



“But I must give INEC credit for extending the date for the collection of PVC, but again I urge them to ensure that people collect their PVC. This election is very important to Nigerians. It is an existential election. We want all those that have registered to participate.”

He commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for extending the deadline for the collection of permanent voters cards (PVC).

In his remarks, Barry Andrews, chief observer of the EU-EOM, said the meeting was a routine one for the purpose of interacting with leading presidential candidates and other stakeholders in the February 25 presidential election.


“It is part of our work, we are having meetings with all the stakeholders in this very important election here in Nigeria. We have met with important participants including Labour Party today,” Andrews said.

“We also met with APC and PDP candidates. We also met with the minister of foreign affairs earlier today, the vice president, civil society, and the media.

“What we are doing is trying to develop a picture of transparency, inclusivity, and credibility of the election. And we will report that, two days after the election in a preliminary report in a press conference on the 27th of February.

“We are in the very early stages. We have been meeting and people have a collective sense of deepening the very root of democracy and we think we can play a part but we won’t be making any conclusion until after the election.”

Obi is stylishly telling FG and APC to shoot themselves on the leg.

Granting such request will trigger anger votes against the ruling party.

Great. It's their constitutional right to vote.

And Nigerian students are overwhelmingly voting wisely for the best candidate in the person of Peter Ahmed Bayo Obi

Yes na

Hmm. One week won't be enough. They'll need 3 weeks

While I have the conviction that Peter Obi is the best for the job, I don't support this idea, because he may end up hurting some students

If the minister of education, who admitted to being a failure but wouldn't resign, refuses to do it, vice chancellors should.

This is the right thing to do. The only problem is that heads of high institutions have deep political views and will ignore Obi's call if they intend to vote for someone else.

I think there should be an act of parliament demanding high institutions across the country to be shut down for 2 weeks to allow students to travel, vote and return to schools afterwards.

My President

As a student, if your university refuses to give you time to go and vote, simply leave the school, travel and vote(save your future)

It's really nice,if ASUU can allow them Vote.

Lecturers are very wicked.

They knew students will all vote for Peter Obi.

Spot on! # way to go.
