June 12: Ultimate triumph of collective will of Nigerians - Peter Obi

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), described June 12 as both a monumental tragedy and the ultimate triumph of the collective will of the people. In a post on X (Twitter) marking the 27th anniversary of uninterrupted democracy in Nigeria, the former Anambra State governor stressed that the date is a powerful blend of reflection and aspiration, honoring a fractured past while serving as a reminder of the power of collective democratic will. He posed questions about electoral transparency, the social contract, and the role of governance institutions.
