Social media critic Martins Vincent Otse has called on Nigerians to take future elections more seriously, urging citizens to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and actively participate in the democratic process.
Speaking in a video shared online, the activist argued that elected officials should be removed through the ballot box if they fail to meet public expectations.
Call for Greater Voter Participation
VeryDarkMan said voting remains one of the strongest tools available to citizens seeking change and accountability in governance.
According to him, politicians would become more responsible if they understood that voters were prepared to replace them when they failed to deliver.
“If we can vote President Tinubu out of power, Nigeria will improve by at least 70%. It would send a message that whoever we elect can be removed if they fail to perform,” he said.
Criticism of Low Voter Registration
The activist also expressed concern over what he described as low voter participation among Nigerians, particularly those who frequently discuss political issues on social media.
He urged citizens to begin encouraging others to register and obtain their PVCs ahead of future elections.
“That alone will make anyone seeking power understand that they must deliver and do the right thing. Everybody should start preaching to everyone to get their voter card, the time is now. Eighty percent of people that talk on social media don’t even have PVC,” he added.
Debate Over Governance and Accountability
His comments come amid ongoing national conversations about insecurity, economic challenges and public accountability.
While some Nigerians have supported his call for increased voter participation, others have debated his assessment of the current administration and the role elections play in addressing governance concerns.
VeryDarkMan has consistently encouraged greater civic engagement, maintaining that meaningful political change can only be achieved when citizens actively participate in the electoral process.
“Dear Nigerian youths, please take one minute of your time to listen to me. If we can vote President Tinubu out of power, Nigeria will improve by at least 70%.
