The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has threatened to deal with those who rig elections in Nigeria, declaring that his administration would ensure electoral offenders face jail terms if he wins the 2027 presidential election.
Obi spoke on Wednesday at an NDC town hall meeting in Nasarawa State, where he addressed party supporters on electoral integrity and the need to strengthen Nigeria’s electoral system.
Responding to a question about election rigging, the former Anambra State governor said the party would not allow electoral manipulation to go unchallenged in the next general election. “You didn’t ask about what we are going to do if people rig election next year. Let me assure you, number one, this coming election, we will rig those who rig it,” Obi said. He added that, if elected president, he would ensure that election rigging became impossible under his watch by strengthening political parties and reforming the electoral process.
