Nedu Wazobia urges Nigerians to vote wisely amid rising cost of living

Nigerian media personality Nedu Wazobia has spoken out about the country’s economic challenges, urging Nigerians to register to vote and make informed decisions during elections.

Nedu noted the rising cost of rent, food and transportation, noting that salaries have not increased at the same pace. He also raised concerns about access to healthcare and insecurity, describing the situation as difficult for millions of Nigerians.

He referenced a financial services firm’s reported finding that only about 2.4 per cent of Nigerian workers earn more than ₦200,000 monthly, using the figure to highlight concerns about income and the rising cost of living.

Encouraging Nigerians to participate in elections, Nedu urged those who had not registered to do so and those who already had their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to use them responsibly.

He said voters should look beyond party colours and personal preferences, and instead consider candidates’ plans, track records and ability to address the country’s challenges.

“Your voice matters. I want a Nigeria where hard work can give you a decent life. Where our children can dream. Where you can travel without fear, where to chop food no go hard and security no be luxury. Nigeria na all of us get am,” he said.
