Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria — African Democratic Congress, has urged Nigerians to use the June 12 Democracy Day anniversary as a call to action for electoral reform and democratic renewal. He emphasized the need to restore credibility, transparency, and public trust in Nigeria's electoral process ahead of the 2027 general election, drawing parallels to the widely acclaimed 1993 presidential election. Peter Obi questioned the current state of elections and governance in Nigeria, asking if they meet the standards of fairness and transparency of the past. He highlighted June 12 as a powerful symbol of both reflection and aspiration for Nigeria's democratic identity.
