OBI VOWS TO CHALLENGE ELECTORAL ACT IN COURT, RAISES CONCERNS OVER 2027 POLL

Presidential hopeful and former Anambra State governor, Mr. Peter Obi, has said he will challenge the recently passed 2026 Electoral Act in court, expressing concerns that some of its provisions could affect the conduct of the 2027 general elections.

Obi spoke in Awka during the flag-off of the membership mobilisation, registration and revalidation exercise of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Anambra State.

The former Labour Party presidential candidate said he believed certain aspects of the law could influence the electoral process and indicated that legal action would be taken to seek judicial interpretation.

Obi also urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to remain neutral in the conduct of elections and avoid involvement in the internal affairs of political parties.

“A referee does not determine the rules, choices or line-up of players in teams or clubs,” he said, calling on the electoral body to focus on its constitutional role of conducting credible elections.

He encouraged ADC members and supporters across the state to register at their respective wards and mobilise others to join the party.

Chairman of the occasion, Senator Ndii Obi, said the ADC would provide a platform where members could participate freely in the party’s activities.

He urged party supporters in the state to work together to strengthen the party ahead of future elections.

Also speaking, the Chairman of the ADC Registration Committee in Anambra State, Hon. Ben Nwosu, described the exercise as part of efforts to strengthen the party’s grassroots presence.

Nwosu said the first batch of membership cards would be distributed across the 21 local government areas of the state.

The National Organising Secretary of the party, Chinedu Idigo, explained that registration would be conducted both online and manually, advising prospective members to complete the online process before collecting their membership cards at designated centres.

He added that the party plans to adopt a direct primary system for the selection of candidates.

In his remarks, the ADC candidate in the November 8, 2025 Anambra governorship election, John Nwosu, described the event as an important step in strengthening the party’s political structure.

Also speaking, the Senator representing Anambra Central, Senator Victor Umeh, described the gathering as significant and reiterated support for Obi’s political ambitions.

Bro maybe International court, not in Nigerian court. The Judiciary is the APC and ApC is the judiciary. Just make sure to create more awareness for yourself incase you don't win and see you in 2031 bro. These set of politicians will do everything in their might to stop you. Except God and Nature helps you. I see nothing you can do Obi.

Nigerians: Make electronic transmission of result mandatory !

Akpabio's Senate: We don't have network coverage everywhere in Nigeria.

Network Operators: We have covered every part of Nigeria and even the slowest internet category(GPRS) can do the work effectively.

Akpabio's Senate: No, we love Nigerians too much and cannot risk it.



Yet Jambites are forced all over the country to use the same network to gain admission into university.

Meanwhile:

Ode man,the constitution wey court go take give you verdict,who draft am?

pls how old are you?,you should be old enough to know that the court will judge based on the constitution and it is the same legislators that drafted the constitution that drafted the electoral act…data is cheap in Nigeria and that’s why every tom dick and harry comes online to present rubbish,anyway if Obi doesn’t know better,how can his followers know
So if the legislators prescribe death penalty for a kidnapper,you will go to court and challenge it to a bailable offence?,a new Nigeria is possible with these kind of thinking truly.
You want to do opposition and you can’t even think smarter than the ruling party,after you will start nsogbu eyinmba.is this the kind of sense that APC used to condemn PDP?

Sha lawyers must chop . The country is gone, PO should rest, people you are fighting for are far gone. Let's hope next generation will get sense

Which court sir? have you established your own court? You better rest before you join Malami, Nasir and co in another world
.

Obi is trying to expose the Nigerian corruption circle....Time will come when it will be used against so many people

The slight problem is that we do not have a democracy at the moment. There is no clear distinction between the arms of government as the legislative is clearly at the beck and call of the executive and the judiciary are actually being bankrolled by the executive.

Go there as usual and waste your time and money. A phool and his money are about to part ways lawyer must chop

He also vowed to sue people's Gazette for yes daddy and this other comic activist guy that used to be in pdp. He vowed to prove he won 2023 elections only to come entertain us all. He vowed never to leave APGA. Who rates this third man?

Peter Obi , you don't Stand a Chance in 2027 presidential election...

Your Grounded membership are on Twitter and social media..

And Social media Election doesn't count.

Peter Obi you too workout the permutations and see for yourself..

Dear H.E Peter Obi,

Asides from challenging the Electoral Act in court legitimately, you seem to be dropping the ball gradually.

The most unpredictable threat to APC in 2027 are the Nigerian Youth and Peter Obi.

Sir, you have the most organic followership amongst all candidates in the next Presidential Elections.

A very large percentage of your current supporters & admirers have not collected a penny from you and have exhibited so much trust and love for you both off and on-line.

We witnessed over six (6) verifabile opinion polls with real people who have PVCs and the minimum score was 64% for PO. This includes Nairaland.

Peter Gringory Obi is the King and Dominant feature of the Nigerian Social Media space. This is significant.

Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC) reported a staggering and interesting statistics on new subscribers on-boarding for ALL telecoms operators in Nigeria in Year 2025.

Over 2m new Data subscribers onboarded across all network totalling an estimated 24 million New data subscribers in 2025 alone.

Peter Obi has to move and take action by intelligently moving his followers from social media and traditional media to the polling booth.

" We no dey give shi-shi" innuendo should be expunged immediately from his campaign slogan.

He is fighting for the soul of Nigeria and his organic followership. He also needs die-hard camaraderie with Northern Nigeria as his polling agents in the North cost him the 2023 elections.

PO needs to move to action by tomorrow morning. He is acting like a very weak opposition.
