Peter Obi Will Lead Nigerians to Demand Change in 2027 – CUPP

Nigerians will choose the outcome of the 2027 election, according to the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP).
According to reports, CUPP National Secretary Chief Peter Ameh observed that Peter Obi, the former Labour Party presidential candidate, received more votes in the 2023 election in spite of the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) purportedly faulty figures.
In a statement released Friday, Chief Ameh denounced the mindset of Nigerian politicians, which is motivated by selfish interests.
“In less than six months of campaigning, Peter Obi, representing the Labour Party, achieved remarkable success, even though the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced flawed results.

Obi received over 50% of the vote in seven states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and over 25% in sixteen states, without the support of governors or the aid of electoral manipulation apparatus. His supremacy in important cities like the FCT, Rivers, and Lagos demonstrated the strength of a coalition of people who are all driven by the same goal of change, he said.

The most recent election in 2023 demonstrated the ability of the people to bring about political change, the former National Chairman of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) emphasized.

“This alliance of common Nigerians—youth, laborers, businesspeople, and professionals—showed that the people’s will can overthrow the established political elite.” The 2023 elections made clear the weaknesses of inept and heartless politicians who are incapable of governing for the common good and whose sole goal is to seize power.

“These politicians have used defection and manipulation to hold onto power, frequently protected by the so-called “federal might.” Under the guise of political strategy, governors and other elected officials routinely switch parties, undermining the confidence of their voters.

“Public trust in governance has been undermined by this lack of accountability and discipline, but the people are more committed than ever to ending this cycle of opportunism and poor performance,” he continued.
