A UK group campaigning for a Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso ticket in Nigeria's 2027 elections will hold its second No to Rigging conference on Zoom at 7pm London time on Sunday.
Three keynote speakers are billed. They are Chris Agiri Agiri, founder of the Flag Foundation of Nigeria, Dr Simput Eagles Dafup II, listed as the SDP's Plateau State governorship candidate, and Barrister Julius Onyenucheya PhD.
Convened by Dr Peter Costa Uwaibi, the event carries an invitation signed by the group's secretary general, Chief Alex Ubaka Achebe, which promises discussion of "electoral integrity, credible leadership, and the collective responsibility of Nigerians to safeguard our democracy".
Portraits of Mr Obi and Mr Kwankwaso dominate the event poster, which bills them as the 2027 presidential and vice-presidential choices beneath the emblem of the Nigeria Democratic Congress.
Mr Obi finished third in the 2023 presidential election as the Labour Party candidate, behind Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar. Mr Kwankwaso came fourth for the NNPP.
The organisers say the Zoom link will be shared before the event.

My name is Barr Anwuli Ogbechi, Convener & Nationsl Coordinator for a Nigeria based NDC Obi Kwankwaso National Women's Support Group. The group has full structures in 28 States and I often get situation updates from the Regions. The main concern is election rigging, ballot box snatching and election violence. The second but not least concern is confusion over the party Peter Obi belongs to at the grassroots and rural areas. There is a need for mobolisation to improve communication efforts. We would welcome support on these issues.
