2027: Atiku lied, Tinubu not planning to postpone elections - Presidential aide

President Bola Tinubu's Special Assistant on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, has refuted claims by the African Democratic Congress presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, that the APC-led government intends to postpone the 2027 general elections. Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) deny having any such plans, according to Olusegun's statement.

Atiku reportedly told a gathering that the APC wants to change the election date due to the party's experience during the presidential campaign flag-off in Kaduna State. However, Olusegun dismisses this allegation, stating that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has significantly improved under Tinubu's leadership. He emphasized that INEC's independence will remain intact in 2027, negating any need to postpone the elections.

Furthermore, Olusegun highlighted the success of the recent APC rally in Kaduna State, where party members demonstrated their unwavering support for President Tinubu. The rally saw participation from all local government areas in the state, showcasing the party's commitment to delivering infrastructure projects, life-improving programs, and addressing security issues in his state.
