Former Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, has emphasized that every vote must count in the 2027 general elections, warning that anyone attempting to undermine the process would face legal repercussions.
In a statement posted on his verified X account on Monday, Peter Obi highlighted that, unlike in past elections, Nigerians would demand that every valid vote is accurately counted and properly recorded.
He urged citizens to stay at their polling units after voting to observe the counting and transmission of results, stressing that transparency in the electoral process is vital to protecting the country’s democracy.
“Unlike in the past, in 2027 our votes MUST count, and all those who are there not to count the votes will be counted among those destroying Nigeria.
“I encourage everyone to remain at the polling units after voting to count and witness the counting and transmission of results. Those who refuse to allow the votes count will be made to count the full weight of the law against rigging.
“Let me reiterate: if you do not count our votes, we will count you among those who destroy our democracy, thereby destroying our future, and you must answer to the law,” Peter Obi said.
