The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Peter Obi, and the party’s Kogi East Senatorial Candidate, Peter Ameh, have called on the Independent National Electoral Commission to ensure that the 2027 general elections are free, fair, transparent and credible.
The duo made the call on Sunday in Ogugu, Olamaboro Local Government Area of Kogi State, during a thank-you tour organised for Ameh following his emergence as the NDC senatorial candidate for Kogi East.
Obi, who was warmly received by thousands of supporters in Ogugu, urged INEC to resist any attempt to manipulate the electoral process in favour of any political party, stressing that the wishes of Nigerian voters must be respected.
He said, “The reception is very warm. What is most important is that we want this campaign to be issue-based. We want all candidates to go round Nigeria and ask questions about the challenges confronting the people.
“We want to change the dynamics where people go around and ask Nigerians about their problems. When I was coming to Kogi State today, I stopped at Ugbolafo, Otukpa Junction, and asked some of our elderly people what their challenges were. This is what I want other presidential candidates to do.
