The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, has declared that the votes of all Nigerians must count in 2027.
Obi faulted the decision by some candidates to outsource their political campaigns to Nigerians.
The presidential candidate spoke during a town hall meeting in Rivers State yesterday.
According to Obi: “I saw a newspaper from the ’60s which said Azikiwe campaigned in 43 cities within a month. Today, people sit in their houses and outsource campaigns to the people.

“Today, we see governors and political appointees giving orders that they must win. They are even arrogant and threaten other people.
“Let me tell you, all that stress will come to an end. Our votes this time must count.
“Anybody who refuses to allow votes to count in 2027 must be counted as well. We have heard enough of this nonsense. All these threats must come to an end.
“Let whoever wants to be anything come out and speak to us. That’s what Kwankwaso and I are going to do this afternoon.
“Leadership cannot be outsourced. If you want to lead, you have to answer to the people, and I assure you, as your Chief Servant, that I will be speaking to Nigerians daily, weekly and monthly.”
