The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) for the 2027 general elections, Mr. Peter Obi, has urged Nigerians to defend their votes at the polls, insisting that the outcome of the election would ultimately depend on the resolve of the electorate rather than the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

He also lamented the worsening poverty and hunger in the country, describing the quest to change Nigeria as “the ultimate sacrifice” in the face of deepening economic hardship.

Obi disclosed this yesterday, after attending the burial service of the late Pa Okaji Simon Okorie Abaa, father of the NDC senatorial candidate for Ebonyi South, Chief Linus Okorie, at Isiama Primary School, Onicha Igboeze, in Onicha Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.
