Kanayo O Kanayo, a Nigerian film icon, has stated that Nigerians who have not obtained their Permanent Voter's Card, PVC, are contributing to the country's problems.
On Wednesday, July 13, 2022, the actor revealed this in a video posted to his Instagram page.
"You and I have the power to save our country. No one can do it but you. Do not say your vote will not court. First, go and perform your civic responsibility of casting your vote. Going to vote is better than going to church or mosque. Do not misunderstand me," he said.
"There is no In Jesus Name where they are voting that is why you have been saying In Jesus Name and these guys have been doing the same thing. There is no voting on social media. It is a physical exercise. If by now you have not gotten your Permanent Voters Card, you have become part of the problem of Nigeria. I tell you that."
Kanayo O Kanayo joins a long list of Nigerian celebrities who have been vocal about the importance of registering for the upcoming general election.
Peter Okoye, Mr Macaroni, Falz, Davido, and Tacha Akide are among the other celebrities who have been vocal about voter education and registration.
These celebrities have remained steadfast in their belief that Nigeria would get it right in the next elections.
Some of these celebrities have even pledged to expose their colleagues who accept campaign funds from politicians.
While others, like as Okon Lagos, will sell their votes to the highest price.
