Obi: In 2023 We Took Things for Granted, Believed INEC, But Not Again
• Says Tinubu not in charge, hasn’t spent 3 nights in any state •Faults president for spending holidays abroad • Promises decisive action against insecurity •Rules out oil subsidy return
Former Anambra State Governor and presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Peter Obi, revealed that the 2027 elections would be a significant departure from the 2023 experience. Obi, speaking to Arise Television, expressed confidence that INEC under Mahmood Yakubu had not acted independently in 2023 and would not do so in 2027.
He vowed to establish an independent monitoring system for the 2027 election results, ensuring his political organization had direct access to polling unit figures and could compare them with the collated results announced by INEC. Obi addressed the ongoing insecurity in Nigeria, calling for modern technology to enable the government to locate criminals and respond effectively to criminal activities.
He also criticized President Bola Tinubu for not spending three consecutive nights in any Nigerian state outside Lagos and Abuja, questioning Tinubu's leadership and claiming the president was not in charge of the government.
