Former presidential candidate and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Peter Obi, has urged Nigerians and members of the Obidient Movement to prepare to protect their votes ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Obi said the movement must evolve beyond enthusiasm into a more organised and strategic political force capable of securing victory.
News360 Info reports that the former Anambra State governor made the call in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, while mobilising support for the ADC. His remarks were contained in a statement signed by the movement’s National Coordinator, Yunusa Tanko.
According to Obi, the next election cycle must be driven by planning, organisation and unity among supporters.
“The time has come to move from passion to structure, from structure to strategy, and from strategy to victory,” he said.
Obi also warned that the irregularities and controversies that trailed the 2023 presidential election must not recur.
“We will not allow a repeat of what happened in the 2023 election,” he said.
“In 2027, you will either count the votes correctly, or you will be counted. We must all be ready to defend our votes.”
Addressing supporters in Akwa Ibom, Obi added: “My dear brothers and sisters of the Obidient Movement in Akwa Ibom State, I bring you warm greetings and unwavering hope.”
