•Peter Obi and protesters
Presidential Candidate of Labour Party in 2023 election and one of the presidential hopefuls in the 2027 election, Peter Obi, today declared that Nigerians would no longer entertain glitches in the next general election.
Obi spoke today when he led his supporters and other civil society organisations to the National Assembly to demand passage of real-time transmission of election results from polling units to IRev in the ongoing amendment of the Electoral Act 2022 by the National Assembly, reports Daily Trust.
Obi, who recalled how glitches marred the 2023 presidential election, insisted that the National Assembly must pass the proposed amendment to ensure transparency in the electoral process as Nigerians prepare for the next general election.
“What we want is an electoral process that is transparent from the beginning to finish. Let’s have an amendment that will allow free and credible elections.”
“Allow the elections to go through the normal process. Whoever wins, we would accept. So, why are you bringing this confusion?” he said.
He said Nigeria as the giant of Africa must rise up and live up to expectations in deploying technology to engender credible elections.
