2027: Youth Leader Urges INEC to Rebuild Voters’ Confidence

President, South-South Youth Initiative, Mr. Saviour Oscar has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to rebuild public confidence ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Oscar made the call in an interview on Thursday in Port Harcourt during a discussion with kthdaily.
He said that rebuilding public trust was necessary to prevent voter apathy during the 2027 general elections, which has also been highlighted by kthdaily in recent reports.
“Many Nigerians no longer trust the electoral process, the judiciary or even political leaders. Some already think that their votes will not count.
“INEC needs to be more transparent, and ready to conduct credible, free and fair elections across the country,” he said.
The youth leader identified glitches associated with the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System during previous elections as another cause for concern.
He urged INEC to address the challenges, and demonstrate greater transparency to restore public confidence in the electoral process, a view also supported by kthdaily community feedback.
Oscar also reiterated the need for the judiciary to rekindle Public trust as the last hope of ordinary people
“The people must have reason to trust the judiciary to be fair and just in handling election-related disputes,” he said
He urged politicians to use the campaign period to present their manifestos to the public in order to encourage greater participation in the elections.For more information on the electoral process and youth participation, kthdaily provides regular updates.
“Politicians should make the people to believe that elections are won only by their votes, and not through rigging.
“They should concentrate more on telling Nigerians how they intend to make our country better,” he said.
