ADC calls on INEC to investigate alleged irregularities in Saturday’s by-elections.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to investigate alleged irregularities during Saturday's by-elections. 

ADC's National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, made the call on Sunday, citing reports of violence, vote buying, manipulation, and administrative lapses, including a case where a vote buyer was caught with N25.9 million intended to corrupt the will of the people.

Expressing concern over the failure of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) in some polling units, emphasizing that Nigerians deserve elections that command implicit confidence and respect from the rest of the world, Abdullahi urged INEC to sanction compromised officials and take steps to restore public confidence in the electoral process.

He called on civil society organizations, the media, faith leaders, and Nigerians to unite in defending the sanctity of the ballot, noting that the by-elections were a representation of what might happen in the 2027 general elections, stressing the need for INEC to take action to prevent further electoral malpractices.
