2027: It’s call to duty not anarchy  -  Umeh defends Peter Obi’s ‘threat’ to election riggers

Senator Victor Umeh, representing Anambra Central Senatorial District, defended Peter Obi's remarks regarding the 2027 general election, stating that Obi's comments were a 'call to duty' rather than a threat of anarchy. Obi had warned that Nigerians would resist vote manipulation and ensure their votes are counted. Umeh argued that Obi's statement reflected voter expectations and called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other stakeholders to uphold transparency. He emphasized that a fair and transparent electoral process would prevent disputes and maintain public trust, asserting that any unrest would stem from fraudulent practices, not Obi's warnings.
