Barrister Okolie Akrika Slams INEC’s Move as 'Unprecedented Travesty of Due Process'

The Independent National Electoral Commission’s decision to stop recognizing any leadership faction of the African Democratic Congress has drawn sharp criticism. Barrister Okolie Akrika calls the move an unprecedented travesty of due process and common sense. He argues INEC must respect the status quo as at the filing date of the suit, when Senator David Mark led the legitimate ADC leadership. Akrika warns this action threatens Nigeria’s democracy and urges citizens to remain vigilant. He stresses that INEC must follow the Constitution and the Electoral Act rather than pushing Nigerians toward violence. He pleads with the commission to adopt a peaceful, lawful approach in the lead-up to the 2027 general elections.
