ABUJA, June 12, 2025 In a bold statement that has already begun reverberating across social media platforms, former presidential candidate Peter Obi issued a powerful declaration ahead of the 2027 general elections, vowing that Nigerians will take full control of the democratic process to protect their votes.
Speaking to a crowd of energized supporters, Obi stated:
“2027 elections — we will be everywhere. We will occupy all polling units. We will make sure every vote is counted, and whoever refuses to count it, we will count them!”
The remarks were met with loud cheers and have since gone viral, sparking renewed calls for citizen-led election monitoring and political accountability across the country.
Obi’s comments come amid growing public frustration with electoral malpractice and institutional impunity. Activists and civil society groups see this as a rallying cry for a more engaged and vigilant electorate in the lead-up to 2027.
