He urged youths, especially those just turning 18, to get registered and avoid selling their votes, warning that doing so also means selling their future, education, and healthcare.

“To build a better Nigeria, we must choose leaders with competence, capacity, compassion, and character,” he said.

Obi commended Nigerian youths for their growing resolve to take action rather than just complain, stressing that honesty, determination, and unity are key to achieving real change.
