We’ll Resist Rigging In 2027’, Peter Obi Vows As He Joins ADC

Obi made the vow on Wednesday in Enugu where he and other political leaders in the South-East gathered to declare for the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

The Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has vowed that the opposition will resist any attempt to rig the 2027 elections, warning the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) to strictly follow the rules and regulations.

Obi made the vow on Wednesday in Enugu where he and other political leaders in the South-East gathered to declare for the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

He said, “And we are saying that those who are planning to rig elections in Nigeria come 2027, we will resist it by every means lawful and legitimate. This happens because we have weak institutions like the INEC, which we are urging to act properly in the coming election.

“We must do whatever it takes to follow the rules and regulations, starting from educational qualification for eligibility to contest or seek any election.

“We can no longer be in a situation where they are asking whether this person went to school or not. We have one year now to determine who went to school and who didn’t go to school,” he said.
