Obi: Edo Voters Will Block Election Rigging Attempts
As the Edo State gubernatorial election approaches this Saturday, Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), has assured voters that they hold the power to prevent any attempts to manipulate the election results.
Speaking in Benin on Wednesday during a large rally in support of Olumide Akpata, the LP candidate for governor, Obi made it clear that the electorate will play a key role in safeguarding the election’s integrity.
He emphasized the importance of the people’s participation in ensuring a free and fair election, urging them to be vigilant and proactive in resisting any efforts by individuals or groups aiming to rig the process.
Obi’s remarks were met with enthusiasm by the gathered supporters, who are hopeful that their votes will count and that the election will reflect the will of the people.
The rally, held as the final event in Akpata’s campaign, attracted a large turnout, demonstrating the growing support for the Labour Party in Edo State.
Obi, in his address, reinforced his belief in the power of the people to shape their future through the ballot box, stressing that they should not allow any forces to undermine their democratic rights.
As the election draws near, the Labour Party is positioning itself as a strong contender, with Akpata’s candidacy receiving widespread attention.
Obi’s presence at the rally underscored the party’s commitment to a transparent electoral process and the need for citizens to actively defend their right to choose their leaders without interference.
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
Politician Atiku Abubakar claims that President Bola Tinubu is 90 and says he can prove it.
He shared in a recent interview that he has evidence and can prove it, while also stating that he can serve Nigeria better and sharing how he has the qualities to be Nigeria’s leader.
“You have a President who is 90 years old now and sick and I am healthy and strong. So why won’t I make myself available to serve my country?”
“You went and voted for someone who is 80, I mean 90 years old. How old is President Bola, 90?”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose speaks on the upcoming election and shares that it has basically started now with who the people support.
While backing Peter Obi, he shared “2027 election campaign has officially kicked off. I’m happy because it’s time to take our country back. Recall that President Tinubu once told us that if he doesn’t provide electricity, we should not vote for him. APC is a failed government. Let’s start a door-to-door campaign for Mr Peter Obi. The (OK) ticket is all we want.”
He urged Nigerians to start showing their support and vote.
