Former Anambra State Governor and former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi has issued a strong warning against any attempt to undermine the integrity of the 2027 general elections process.

Obi, in a statement via his X handle on Monday, February 16th, 2026 said:

“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.”
