2027: It’s Nigerians versus APC-led govt — Peter Obi

In an upcoming interview with Arise Television, NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi declared that the 2027 general election will pit Nigerians against the APC-led government. He emphasized that this election will not resemble the 2023 poll, where citizens placed their trust in the INEC chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, who, according to Obi, was "working for the opposite."

Obi highlighted that Nigerians must ensure the right outcome in 2027, stating, "This election, remember, is not about parties but it’s the people versus the government. Nigeria must get it right this time." He recalled that in 2023, Nigerians made assumptions based on the INEC chairman's assurances, despite his team's contradictory actions.

Obi noted that the past demonstrates the importance of trusting Nigerians' intentions in the upcoming election, stating, "This time, we will only trust them by doing the right thing, and of course, we have proof that the INEC chairman was working for the opposite, and even he knows in his heart. That’s in the past, as those who think about yesterday would miss tomorrow."
