NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi has said Nigerians hold the power to ensure credible elections, stressing that INEC will only act according to the people's resolve.
Speaking to journalists after attending a burial ceremony in Onicha, Ebonyi State, Obi said his confidence lies not in INEC but in Nigerians' determination to defend their votes.
"It is not about confidence in INEC. Do I still have confidence in the people? Because it is the people that will determine what INEC will do. If the people insist that their votes will count, their votes will count," he said.
He urged Nigerians to reflect on the country's direction and the future of their children, adding that anyone seeking change is making a sacrifice because the nation cannot continue on its current path.
Obi also decried the worsening economic situation, noting that poverty and hunger are visibly increasing.
"They are saying that about 70 million Nigerians are facing acute hunger. What are we going to do about it? Are we going to continue like this? No. That is not possible," he said.
On alleged intimidation of opposition supporters, Obi said Nigerians are already being harassed by hunger and hardship, and it is time to say enough is enough.
