Nigerian presidential candidate Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has urged citizens to prioritize competence over propaganda during the upcoming 2027 election. In a statement from his media office, Obi, described as a "candidate of conscience," emphasized the need for voters to scrutinise the records, ideas, and character of all presidential candidates before casting their vote.
The statement stressed that the campaign period should focus on evaluating the candidates' capacity to lead the country, rather than being dominated by rallies and political propaganda. Obi's campaign pledges include transforming Nigeria from a consumption-driven economy to a productive one, reducing the cost of governance, improving education and healthcare, enhancing national security, and expanding economic opportunities for young Nigerians.
The NDC candidate assured voters that his leadership would be judged based on his record, ideas, and vision, and not influenced by ethnicity, religion, or political entitlement.
