Human rights activist, Dickson Iroegbu, has said that there would be a revolution if anybody stops the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, from being on the ballot in the 2027 general elections.
Iroegbu made this statement in an interview on Mic-On podcast with a media personality, Seun Okinbaloye, on Saturday night.
His remark came amid the ruling of a Federal High Court in Lokoja, Kogi State, which set aside its earlier judgment directing the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to register the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, as a political party.
Iroegbu, who also charged the INEC to be careful if it thinks there would be a glitch in 2027, noted that the electoral body will be shocked because the Nigerian people will keep eternal vigilance this time around because they have had enough.
According to him, the fear of the NDC presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is a challenge for the All Progressives Congress, APC, and President Bola Tinubu.
“There will be revolution and anarchy in the land if anybody thinks he can stop the NDC from being on the ballot. Anyone who thinks he can push the NDC aside is calling for anarchy.
“Tinubu is overrated. He may have succeeded in grabbing and running with power in 2023. But in 2027, he will be shocked that we will hold him down and ensure the result is counted. If Nigerians do not end the APC, then APC may end Nigeria,” he said.
