IPAC Urges FG to Release INEC Funds Ahead of 2027 Elections

IPAC chairman Yusuf Dantalle called on the Federal Government to immediately release funds to the Independent National Electoral Commission so it can prepare for the 2027 general elections, speaking on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Tuesday. He warned that delayed funding could force INEC to rush production of election equipment, risking a disastrous outcome. The 2027 polls are now just 100 days away, with parties already intensifying campaigns.

INEC chairman Professor Joash Amupitan said the commission has begun delivering non-sensitive materials to some states, but IPAC argues that staff remain the least paid and that adequate funding is essential for credible elections. Dantalle noted that INEC does not receive necessary resources domestically, making timely disbursement crucial.

Readers should note that election funding directly affects the credibility of the 2027 vote; delays could compromise logistics and materials. Staying informed about INEC’s readiness and advocating for transparent budget releases can help ensure a fair election process.
