He said the 2027 election will be different from past elections because Nigerians are now more aware and more determined to protect their votes.
Every second brings Nigerians closer to exercising their democratic right and shaping the future of our nation.
Exercise your democratic right responsibly, peacefully and lawfully.

He said the INEC chairman has a duty to conduct a free and fair election and should not allow himself to be used to destroy the democracy of the country.
