LAGOS NOVEMBER 10TH (NEWSRANGERS)-The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has asked the United Nations, the European Union and other international partners not to only fund the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
In a post on his verified X handle late Monday, Obi asked them to also hold the commission accountable.
He said funding alone will not give Nigeria a credible election and that the money must be followed by monitoring and pressure to ensure INEC does the right thing.
According to him, Nigeria cannot continue to spend billions on elections without results that people can trust.
The former Anambra State governor said the international community has a role to play in making sure the 2027 election is free, fair and credible.
Obi said Nigerians want an election where their votes count.
“Do not just fund INEC, hold INEC accountable.Nigeria cannot afford another compromised election.
“The consequences of electoral manipulation could threaten national stability and extend beyond our borders.
“The future of Nigeria’s democracy must not be sacrificed to political interests,” he wrote.
