The Peter Obi Grassroots Mobilization group has issued a resolute statement on their official X (formerly Twitter) handle, expressing a firm stance on the necessity for comprehensive electoral reforms before the 2027 general elections. In a passionate declaration, prominent member and legal activist, Dele Farotimi, underscored the urgency of this cause.
“There will be no election in 2027 without a reformation of our electoral system,” Farotimi declared emphatically. “If the system is not reformed to ensure that BVAS (Bimodal Voter Accreditation System) and electronic transmission from polling units become compulsory, I will not even bother to participate in that election.”
This bold pronouncement underscores the group’s unwavering commitment to ensuring transparency and fairness in Nigeria’s electoral process. The insistence on mandatory BVAS and real-time electronic transmission of results from polling units reflects the growing demand for integrity in the voting process, a demand fueled by concerns over previous electoral malpractices.
The Peter Obi Grassroots Mobilization group’s stance is clear: without these reforms, they foresee no legitimate election in 2027, a message that resonates with their supporters and advocates for a more credible electoral process in Nigeria.
Farotimi’s statement has sparked widespread discussions and is seen as a rallying call for Nigerians who desire a more robust and transparent democratic system. As the nation inches closer to the next electoral cycle, the pressure on electoral bodies and the government to implement these reforms will likely intensify, setting the stage for a potential showdown in the political arena.
