A federal lawmaker representing Bayelsa State in the Senate and the National Leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Seriake Dickson, has assured Nigerians that their votes will count in the 2027 general elections, despite the power of incumbency.
The senator gave the assurance on Wednesday while addressing them in a post shared via his official X (formerly Twitter) page.
According to Dickson, the will of the Nigerian people is supreme and supersedes the selfish desires of any politician.
He further noted that incumbents wielding federal power during elections have been defeated several times in the past.

He also said those who think they can shoot, kill and maim their own people every election season and fabricate results with INEC will be disappointed once again.
Taking to his verified handle, Dickson wrote: “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.
“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.”
