2027: How to Stop Election Results Manipulation, According to Agbakoba

As Nigeria approaches the general election scheduled for January 2027, concerns persist over the electronic results transmission failures of 2023. Opposition parties plan to establish their own transmission systems and situation rooms to verify results announced at polling stations.

Peter Obi, the NDC’s 2027 presidential candidate, continues to claim that his 2023 victory was stolen after INEC abandoned electronic transmission for manual collation.
