In an opinion piece, Dakuku Peterside discusses the risks facing Nigeria's 2027 elections despite peace agreements. He notes that while political rivals signing peace pacts is reassuring, the symbolism does not guarantee safety. Peterside argues that elections in Nigeria have often been accompanied by intimidation, inflammatory rhetoric, and violence, and that without concrete actions, the 2027 elections remain at risk. He emphasizes that political competition need not become warfare, but the current practices suggest otherwise.
