- Threatens legal action against electoral saboteurs
From Sola Ojo, Abuja
Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi issued a stern warning to electoral officials and political figures on Monday regarding the 2027 general elections.
He stated on X (formerly Twitter) that any attempt to undermine the voting process would be met with legal consequences.
He then called on Nigerians to be resolute in ensuring that their votes truly count in 2027.
To achieve this, he urged citizens to remain at their polling units after voting to witness the counting and transmission of results.

“Unlike in the past, in 2027 our votes must count.
“All those who are there not to count the votes will be counted among those destroying Nigeria,” he said.
He warned that refusal to allow proper counting of votes amounts to an assault on Nigeria’s democracy and collective future, stressing that perpetrators would be made to face the full weight of the law.
According to him, electoral malpractice should no longer be tolerated, as it erodes public trust and weakens democratic institutions.
“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,” Obi added.
