You’ve failed Nigerians even before election, ADC chieftain tells INEC chair

A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has criticised the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), accusing him of failing Nigerians even before the next general elections.
In a statement, the party stalwart alleged that recent actions and decisions by the electoral body have raised concerns about its neutrality and preparedness to conduct credible elections.
The ADC chieftain argued that public confidence in the electoral process is already being undermined, warning that any perception of bias or inefficiency could affect the integrity of future polls.
He called on INEC to uphold its constitutional responsibility by ensuring transparency, fairness and independence in all its activities, especially as political activities intensify ahead of the 2027 elections.
The criticism reflects growing tension between opposition parties and the electoral body, with increasing scrutiny over its role in managing internal party disputes and broader electoral processes.
Observers say maintaining public trust will be critical for INEC as it prepares for upcoming electoral cycles.
