Project Victory Call Initiative (PVC-Naija), a non-governmental organization focused on political advocacy and civic education, is preparing to evaluate the effectiveness of governance under Nigeria’s current political leadership.
This evaluation will specifically examine the performance of key figures such as President Bola Tinubu, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, among others.
According to a statement from the organization’s president, Paula Bellgam, PVC-Naija is committed to reimagining Nigeria’s political landscape by transforming leadership and governance models.
“Our mission is to bridge divides, foster national unity, and empower citizens to actively participate in nation-building. We envision a Nigeria led by accountable, transparent, and responsible leaders, supported by an engaged and informed populace,” the statement emphasized.
“We aim to educate Nigerians about their political duties and promote the rise of credible leaders who will ensure accountable governance. Key objectives include establishing direct communication channels with voters who desire meaningful change,” it added.
“We strive to position citizens as influential stakeholders in Nigeria’s political framework and to champion electoral outcomes that uphold the principles of a government truly by the people, for the people,” the statement concluded.
Additionally, PVC-Naija announced that “Night 4 Naija,” a prestigious national awards ceremony recognizing outstanding leaders, advocates, and change-makers contributing to Nigeria’s democratic progress and development, will take place in Abuja on December 14.
During the nomination phase, the organization highlighted that there are 15 award categories designed to reflect Nigeria’s geopolitical diversity-covering the South East, South South, South West, North West, North East, and North Central regions-ensuring inclusive representation. The only exception is the Best FCT Minister category, as the South East has yet to produce a minister for the Federal Capital Territory.
The Nomination Committee for Night 4 Naija 2025 was led by Simon Imobo-Tswam, a respected public intellectual and media expert, with journalist Ifeoma Nkem serving as Secretary.
Drawing on media insights and the Independent Media Governance Assessment Reports from May 2024 to May 2025, the committee accepted nominations between June and July 2025, completing the vetting process by September 2025.
The official list of media nominees was published on October 1, 2025, with public voting commencing on October 15 and concluding on November 30, 2025.
Public participation in voting is encouraged, with each vote costing ₦100 to maintain affordability and promote widespread engagement. The voting platform will soon be accessible via the official website pvc-naija.com.ng.
Among the award categories are Political Icon of the Year 2025, Political Icon of the People, Development/Change Agent-honoring Nigerians making impactful contributions outside formal governance structures-Governor of the Year 2025, evaluated on Security, Education, and Agriculture (SEA) performance; Senator of the Year 2025; Member of the House of Representatives; State Legislator of the Year; and Local Government Chairman of the Year, limited to elected chairpersons.
