2027: ADC campaign council warns INEC against partisanship

The ADC Presidential Campaign Council has cautioned the Independent National Electoral Commission against allowing partisanship to sway the 2027 general elections. The council asserts that voter registration figures will lack significance if eligible Nigerians cannot secure their Permanent Voter Cards. They have urged INEC to decentralize PVC distribution to the ward level, extend collection hours, and utilize technology to alert voters when their cards are ready for collection.

ADC-PCC Director of Media and Publicity, Kola Ologbondiyan, emphasized the importance of INEC's independence, transparency, and neutrality in the electoral process. He stressed that every eligible voter must have an effective opportunity to obtain a PVC before election day. The council also alleged that bureaucratic bottlenecks and delays at PVC collection centers could disenfranchise voters, especially in opposition strongholds.

They urged INEC to ensure equal access to voter cards and warned that any attempt to manipulate the electoral process would face resistance through lawful and democratic means.
