A pro-democracy activist is calling on Nigeria to take urgent action to prevent violence from undermining the country's 2027 general election, warning that pre-election violence has already been reported in states across the country [1].

The warning comes as Nigeria's 2027 presidential campaigns kick off. Voters are demanding more than rallies and slogans, pressing candidates for concrete governance plans [2]. At the top of their list is stopping the widespread theft of the country's oil resources, with Nigerians expecting every presidential candidate to present a clear framework for protecting this national wealth [2].

The campaigns now have a chance to put issues first, and voters will be watching to see who offers real solutions [2].
