Effiong Accuses INEC of Plot to Let Tinubu Run Unopposed in 2027

Human rights lawyer Inibehe Effiong has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission of orchestrating a plan to undermine credible elections ahead of 2027. His comments follow INEC’s decision to remove David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola as ADC leaders and to refuse recognition of court-backed Nafiu Bala Gombe. The commission also suspended monitoring of all party factions pending a court ruling. Effiong argued that ADC executives had validly resigned to make way for a new leadership team ratified by the party. He questioned the role of the courts in internal party affairs and highlighted a Court of Appeal order on status quo ante bellum. He challenged INEC to clarify whether its actions signal a desire for President Bola Tinubu to run unopposed in 2027 and called on the commission to state its position publicly.
