Dr. Faisal Shuaib said eligible residents of the Nasarawa West Senatorial District should participate in the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration exercise.
This call for registration comes as Nigeria prepares for the 2027 general elections [1]. Increased voter turnout in the Nasarawa West region is viewed as a critical step toward strengthening the democratic process and ensuring broad representation.
Shuaib is the former Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of the National Primary Health Care Development Agency. He is currently a senatorial aspirant for the All Progressives Congress (APC) representing Nasarawa West [1].
The current drive is part of the third phase of the Continuous Voter Registration process [2]. This phase allows eligible citizens to register for the first time, or update their existing voter information, to ensure they are eligible to cast ballots in the upcoming cycle.
By encouraging residents to engage with the process, Shuaib said he aims to increase the number of registered voters in his district. Broad participation is often linked to greater political accountability and a more inclusive electoral outcome [1].
Residents can access registration centers to complete the process before the deadline for the 2027 general elections [1]. The effort emphasizes the importance of civic duty in the lead-up to the national vote.
“Dr. Faisal Shuaib urged eligible residents of the Nasarawa West Senatorial District to participate in the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration exercise.”
The push for voter registration by a high-profile APC aspirant suggests an early strategic focus on grassroots mobilization in Nasarawa West. By leveraging his previous public profile as a health agency chief, Shuaib is attempting to expand the active electorate, which could shift the competitive landscape for the 2027 senatorial race.
