Peter Obi Rejects Vote-Buying Ahead of 2027 Elections

Peter Obi, the 2027 presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), announced during a town hall meeting in Sokoto State that the Obi/Kwankwaso movement will not resort to bribing voters or party agents in the upcoming general elections. He condemned vote-buying as a practice that contributes to the ongoing poverty in Nigeria, asserting that financial inducements undermine the electoral process.

Obi stressed that voters should be allowed to make their choices freely, without monetary influence at polling units. He also assured that adequate security measures would be implemented to protect voters and ensure proper counting of ballots, although he did not provide specific details on these security arrangements.

Obi was accompanied by his running mate, Rabi’u Kwankwaso, during this engagement, which is part of their campaign activities leading up to the 2027 elections.
