Obi Warns UN, EU Against Sacrificing Nigeria’s Democratic Future
Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has urged the United Nations, European Union and other international partners to demand accountability from INEC.
In a post on his verified X account late Monday, Obi argued that financial support for the Independent National Electoral Commission alone would not guarantee credible elections.
He maintained that international assistance must be accompanied by proper monitoring and sustained pressure to ensure the commission performs its duties transparently.
The former Anambra State governor expressed concern over Nigeria’s continued expenditure on elections without delivering outcomes that command public confidence.
Obi stressed that international partners have an important role in supporting efforts to ensure the 2027 general election is free, fair and credible.
He warned that electoral manipulation could threaten national stability and have consequences beyond Nigeria’s borders, adding that the country’s democratic future must not be sacrificed to political interests.
He said Nigerians deserve an electoral process in which their votes genuinely count.
