The Independent National Electoral Commission has assured Nigerians that it will conduct free, fair and credible elections in 2027, insisting that every valid vote will count.
The commission also said it would ensure that the outcome of the 2027 general elections reflects the wishes of the people.
The Head of Voter Education and Publicity, INEC, Kwara State, Dr Adejumo Peter, stated this on Thursday in Ilorin during a seminar organised by the Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists.
Peter dismissed the notion that politicians could influence election outcomes by stockpiling Permanent Voter Cards, saying such tactics had become ineffective.
“INEC has introduced measures that make it impossible for anyone to use another person’s PVC to vote. That is why politicians have shifted their focus to vote-buying.
“Many politicians are still living in the past. Stockpiling and carting away PVCs can no longer guarantee electoral victory,” he said.
