The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has vowed to take strict action against electoral malpractice if elected president of Nigeria.

Speaking on Channels Television, Obi said, “This coming election, we will rig those who rig it.”

He further stated, “And let me assure you number two, if elected the president of Nigeria, nobody will rig election in this country again.”

On electoral reforms, he said, “Because the first thing we need to do is to strengthen our parties, strengthen the processes.”

Obi also stated that anyone seeking to contest an election must have attended primary school and secondary school, adding that anyone who forged their certificate would face jail time.

He said, “Any INEC official, anybody who is involved with election under my watch that rigs the election will go to jail.”

He further stated, “Our law will be strict for you to contest election, you must have attended a primary school. You must have attended a secondary school. And it will be visible, it will be clear. If you didn’t attend any of them or forge your certificate, you go to jail.”

He concluded that under his administration, nobody would be above the law and everyone would be expected to obey it.
