ADC demands INEC chairman's resignation over alleged democracy sabotage
ADC National Chairman David Mark demands immediate resignation or sack of INEC Chairman Professor Joash Amupitan, accusing the electoral umpire of partisanship and unlawful actions. Mark claims INEC withdrew recognition of his party's leadership in contempt of a Court of Appeal ruling, despite the ADC executive emerging from a legitimate July 29, 2025 NEC meeting that INEC had prior knowledge of.
This matters because it directly undermines Nigeria's democratic infrastructure ahead of critical elections. With governorship polls in Osun and Ekiti states approaching, and 2027 general elections looming, INEC's credibility is essential for free and fair voting processes. The ADC frames this as part of a broader pattern to weaken opposition parties, potentially creating a one-party state environment.
Monitor how INEC responds to these serious allegations. If true, this could affect your voting rights through compromised electoral processes. The ADC plans to proceed with political activities regardless, signaling deepening political tensions as Nigeria approaches election cycles.
