Claim about Tinubus Age and Ability to Lead Nigeria Fact-Checked
“Go get your PVC! In 2027, Nigeria will be okay with the freedom that the Tinubu government provides for bandit only in his 3 years in office. If we do not vote them out in the next five years, bandits will take over Nigeria. Get your PVC; it's still ongoing until next month. Peter Obi is the only way; NDC is the way for 2027! 💪 If it weren't for selfishness, what is Tinubu doing in the presidential seat? Someone of his age should be at home enjoying his wealth, but just because he wants Nigeria to suffer for nothing, he can't just let go. We all know that man is too old to carry Nigeria's problems on his shoulders at his age. He needs to be in one place, receiving care from his family and traveling to other countries as he wishes for check-ups. How can someone that weak carry Nigeria's problems on his shoulders? Get your PVC and vote for NDC. Nigeria must be better! Vote for Peter Obi for a better Nigeria! #highlighteveryone #highlights #goviral”
Summary
The Permanent Voter Card (PVC) registration and collection are actively ongoing and citizens are being encouraged to obtain their PVCs ahead of the 2027 elections. There is no credible evidence that President Tinubu’s administration is granting freedom to bandits, that bandits will take over Nigeria, or that Peter Obi or the NDC are the only viable options for 2027; those political claims are unsubstantiated.
