2027: I’m not sure INEC’ll do what’s right – Atiku

In an interview on BBC Hausa, Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), expressed his doubts about the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) conducting the right thing in the upcoming 2027 elections. During the Friday interview, Atiku contended that INEC is under the sway of the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government. "I am not confident that INEC will do what is right because it is under the influence of the current government," he declared.

Atiku urged Nigerians to turn out in large numbers to vote, protect their votes, and ensure that their votes count. The ADC leader dismissed allegations that he was the primary impediment to a coalition. "The allegation that I am the key obstacle to the coalition is baseless," he refuted. Atiku Abubakar was among the initiators of the coalition, and many of those who started this journey with him are still part of it today.
