National Leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Seriake Dickson, has expressed confidence that every vote will count in the 2027 general elections, insisting that the will of the Nigerian people must prevail.

In a post shared on his verified X account on Wednesday, Dickson said the people’s mandate is supreme and cannot be overridden by the ambitions of politicians.

He warned that those hoping to manipulate the electoral process through violence, intimidation or the misuse of security agencies would be disappointed.

“Those who think they could shoot, kill and maim their own people every election season, with the security forces that are meant to protect the people, as well as write fake results with INEC, will be disappointed once again,” he said.

The former Bayelsa State governor assured Nigerians that the 2027 elections would reflect the genuine choices of the electorate.

“I want to assure you that every vote will count. There will be no room for violence, intimidation, or the deployment of security operatives and armed thugs against law-abiding citizens, as some people do,” Dickson stated.

He urged Nigerians to remain vigilant and resist every attempt to undermine the democratic process through violence, inducement or oppression.

“We believe the people’s will is supreme. Thank you once again for your prayers and support for me and for all the candidates of our party.

“Together, we must remain vigilant and ready to democratically resist intimidation, oppression, violence, inducements, and every attempt to undermine the will of our people.

“We have defeated federal might severally before, and, by the grace of God, we shall do so again, with me leading from the front, as you know,” he added.
