As Christians across Nigeria celebrate Easter, the Not Too Young To Perform (NTYTP) has called on citizens—particularly young people—to embrace renewed civic responsibility by actively participating in the nation’s electoral process through voter registration and revalidation.
In a press statement signed by its National Secretary, Arc. Bello Muhammed, the group said the Easter season, which symbolizes sacrifice, renewal, and hope, provides a timely opportunity for Nigerians to recommit themselves not only to personal transformation but also to national development through democratic participation.
NTYTP drew urgent attention to the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) and voter revalidation exercise being conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), noting that the process is critical to strengthening the integrity of Nigeria’s electoral system.
While commending INEC for providing a digital platform that allows eligible citizens to register, transfer, update, or revalidate their voter information, the group stressed that time is limited and urged Nigerians to act swiftly to avoid being disenfranchised.
The advocacy group specifically called on all eligible citizens who have attained voting age to register without delay, encouraged those already registered to verify and update their details, and advised individuals without Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to take immediate steps to obtain them.
“Democracy thrives not merely on intentions but on participation,” the statement read, emphasizing that politics should not be treated as a spectator activity but as a critical platform for shaping national outcomes.
NTYTP also dismissed claims that votes do not count, describing such narratives as misleading and dangerous to democratic progress. According to the group, low voter turnout often creates opportunities for electoral malpractice, while mass participation enhances transparency, accountability, and credibility in elections.
“As we reflect on the message of Easter—sacrifice, renewal, and victory—we urge Nigerians to translate these values into civic action,” Muhammed stated. “The future of Nigeria cannot be outsourced; it must be actively determined by its citizens.”
The group concluded by urging Nigerians to see the Easter celebration as not only a period of spiritual reflection but also a moment for democratic awakening.
“Act now. Register. Revalidate. Participate. Shape Nigeria’s future,” the statement added.
