2027 Votes Must Count, Peter Obi Sends Strong Warning to INEC officials

Peter Obi has declared that 2027 votes must count, warning that anyone who tampers with the electoral process will face legal consequences.

He urged Nigerians to remain at their polling units after voting to witness the counting and transmission of results.

Obi said those who refuse to allow votes to count would be regarded as enemies of democracy and made to answer under the law.

His comments add to growing political momentum ahead of the 2027 general election, with increasing calls for transparency and credible polls.

Our Votes Must Count

“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. –PO”

At least four United States soldiers have lost their lives in retaliatory strikes by Iran. The US Central Command, CENTCOM, disclosed this in a statement posted on its X account on Monday. The US military emphasized that the identities of the deceased will remain undisclosed until their families have been notified. CENTCOM stated that four US service members were earlier confirmed killed in action, adding that the fourth individual, who sustained serious injuries from Iran’s initial attacks, ultimately succumbed to the wounds. “Major combat operations are ongoing, and we will withhold names for 24 hours post notification of families,” it added.
