The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Peter Obi, has said that elections in Nigeria are often manipulated because citizens fail to take ownership of the electoral process and protect their votes.
Obi stated this during an interaction with Nigerians in Washington, D.C., United States, according to a video widely shared on social media, in which he spoke about the challenges facing Nigeria’s democracy and the role of citizens in ensuring credible elections.
According to the former Anambra State governor, politicians alone cannot guarantee free and fair elections unless voters are determined to defend the sanctity of their ballots.
