2027 Election: Obaze Urges Obidients to Become INEC Ad Hoc Staff to Prevent Rigging

Oseloka H. Obaze, the 2017 Anambra State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has urged supporters of Peter Obi, popularly known as Obidients, to register as ad hoc staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission ahead of the 2027 general election.
Obaze, who served as the campaign manager of the Obi-Datti presidential campaign in 2023, made the appeal in a post on his X account on Saturday.
He urged eligible supporters of the former Labour Party presidential candidate to take advantage of INEC’s ongoing recruitment exercise, noting that applications would close in four days.
According to him, participating in the recruitment would enable Obidients to play active roles in the electoral process by serving as officials at polling units, wards and collation centres.
“Despite ongoing INEC shenanigans, we must follow them bumper-to-bumper. Eligible Obidients must go out and register to be INEC ad hoc staff. It closes in four days,” he said.
Obaze maintained that having supporters of credible elections within the electoral system would help strengthen transparency and discourage electoral manipulation.
“We must be in the electoral rooms, halls, corridors, collation centres, wards and polling units to make a difference and stop any form of rigging and electoral manipulation,” he added.
He further urged Nigerians committed to democratic governance to pursue constitutional means of ensuring that the 2027 general election is free, fair and credible.
The former PDP governorship candidate expressed confidence that those advocating credible elections had the numerical strength and determination to influence the electoral process positively.
“Those attempting to destroy Nigeria are in the minority, we are in the majority and must stop them constitutionally by compelling the 2027 elections to be free, credible and fair,” he said.
Obaze encouraged eligible Obidients to seize the opportunity to participate in the INEC recruitment exercise, stressing that their involvement could contribute to safeguarding the integrity of the 2027 elections.
