The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Enugu State has boldly declared that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has no authority to prevent its candidates from running in the 2027 general elections. ADC spokesman Paul Anigbogu made this claim in a statement to the DAILY POST newspaper, countering INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner Chukwuemeka Chukwu's claims that ADC's House of Assembly candidates were being blocked from the election.
Anigbogu emphasized that ADC's gubernatorial candidate, Ocho Obodoeze, remains confirmed, and all House of Assembly candidates have been properly entered into the INEC portal. He highlighted that INEC’s power to obstruct a candidate's participation is limited, as ruled by the Court of Appeal Abuja in August 2026. The court ruled that INEC can only supervise the electoral process and cannot stop a validly nominated candidate from taking part, especially after the party's primaries were monitored by INEC.
Anigbogu dismissed INEC's allegations against ADC as false and a diversionary tactic, reaffirming the party's determination to unseat the current Enugu State administration.
