  "summary": "The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is facing growing concerns over alleged nepotism within the organization, as seven Yoruba individuals are reportedly heading sensitive departments. These departments include ICT, Procurement, Planning and Monitoring, Litigation and Prosecution, Commission Secretariat, Voter Register and Audit. The situation has sparked questions about INEC's impartiality and credibility, especially as Nigeria prepares for the 2027 general elections. Opposition figures have expressed their concerns, suggesting that the imbalance could be part of a plan to manipulate election results. Nigerian businessman and social commentator Prince Isaac Fayose called for INEC to address the allegations urgently to restore public confidence in its independence and impartiality.",
