2027: Peter Obi explains ‘ready to die for my vote’ comment

In the 2027 election, presidential candidate Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, clarified his previous statement about being ready to die for his vote. Obi made the remark during a speech in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, but in an interview with Arise Television, he explained that he was merely listening to the concerns of the people.

One individual asked, "We are prepared to die this time to defend our votes," and in response, Obi said he was prepared to die alongside them. He emphasized that the statement was symbolic and conveyed the determination to ensure that votes count. Obi also outlined plans to implement a dual transmission system, where results from polling units would be simultaneously recorded at the designated INEC portal and visible to the public. By doing so, he aimed to prevent any discrepancies in the declared results.
