Former governor of Anambra State and 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has issued a warning that electoral officials who fail to count votes in the 2027 elections will face consequences.

He spoke to a crowd in Akwa Ibom State, emphasising the importance of voter participation and electoral accountability.

“In the upcoming election in 2027, anybody who refuses to count our vote, we will count the person join. Anybody who refused to count our votes in 2027, we will count him.”

The event concluded with calls for citizens and political actors to support a credible and peaceful electoral process in 2027.

Obi left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after disagreements over the party’s nomination process ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

He subsequently joined the Labour Party and contested the 2023 presidential election under its platform.

His campaign drew widespread attention across Nigeria, especially among young voters, and was noted for its emphasis on transparency and accountability in the electoral process.

Observers said Obi’s experience in the 2023 election has shaped his continued focus on electoral integrity and the proper counting of votes ahead of 2027.

In December 2025, Obi formally joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC), signalling his continued involvement in national politics and his commitment to participating in future elections under a new party platform.
