2027: How We Will Resist Rigging – Peter Obi Reveals

Former presidential candidate Peter Obi has vowed to lawfully and legitimately resist any attempts to rig the 2027 election.

Speaking in Enugu on Wednesday, Obi called for early verification of academic records of candidates to avoid pre-election disputes.

Obi spoke while formally announcing his defection to the opposition coalition backed African Democratic Congress, ADC.

He said: “We have all watched those who benefitted from our democracy now becoming accessories of our democracy either through coercion or gangsterism to the opposition.

“We can’t allow this to happen, we will resist it. We now see people celebrating electoral fraud publicly.

“And we are saying that those planning to rig elections in Nigeria come 2027, we will resist it by every means lawful and legitimate.”
