“2027 Elections in Danger”: ADC Coalition Raises Fresh Alarm Over INEC Voter Data
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has warned that Nigeria’s 2027 general elections could be compromised if what it called ‘statistically implausible’ voter registration figures recently released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) are not urgently addressed.
The Atiku Abubakar-led coalition party has urged INEC to explain the figures in the first batch of Permanent Voter Card (PVC) pre-registration data released by the commission
Following INEC’s figures, Osun state alone recorded 393,269 pre-registrations in one week but the ADC noted that this was higher than the 275,815 new voters added between 2019 and 2023
In a statement signed by its national publicity secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party said the figures from Osun state and the South-West zone defied both historical patterns and demographic realities, raising doubts about the credibility of the electoral process.
According to the ADC recently adopted by Atiku Abubakar as a coalition aimed at unseating Tinubu in 2027, INEC’s report showed that Osun state recorded 393,269 pre-registrations in just one week.
The party pointed out that this figure was higher than the 275,815 new voters recorded in the state over the entire four-year period between 2019 and 2023.
As reported by Vanguard, the ADC also noted that the South-West zone alone accounted for 848,359 pre-registrations, representing 67 percent of the national total. By comparison, the South-East recorded just 1,998 pre-registrations, while five states: Ebonyi, Imo, Enugu, Abia and Adamawa, recorded a combined total of 4,153.
“These fantastic figures suggest either another technical glitch in INEC’s digital registration system, or a more troubling possibility of deliberate manipulation of data to prepare the ground for a sinister agenda in the coming elections. In either case, INEC has explanations to give,” Abdullahi said.
Explaining further, the ADC stressed that anomalies in the data could undermine public trust in the democratic process. The ADC called on INEC to urgently conduct and publish a forensic audit of the first-week registration data, including a state-by-state breakdown of both physical and online registrations.
It also urged the commission to release server logs, bandwidth distribution records, and regional access reports for the registration portal.
The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has released fresh prophecies concerning the governorship elections coming up in Anambra, Ekiti and Osun states.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, the prophet revealed the fate of political parties participating in the election.
For Anambra, he stated that it is only God that can help the APC candidate win because the only person who could have unseated Charles Soludo as governor is Ifeanyi Ubah, who is now late.
The prophet stated that the only way Ifeanyi Ubah can be defeated is if the opponents come together against him; otherwise, he will return to office for his second term in office.
However, he warned Soludo to be careful and watch against attempts to rig him out of the election through the back door.
“Anambra: Only God can help the APC candidate, maybe if he seeks the face of God, but without that, give it to Soludo. It is only God who can remove Soludo. The opponents should have formed a coalition, but because they are self-centred, they will lose.
“If Ifeanyi Ubah were alive, he would have been the one to unseat Soludo, but the current APC candidate doesn’t know what to do to win. Soludo can be defeated if the candidates can take a strong step, but they can’t. Soludo will return whether anyone likes it or not.
“The Labour party candidate doesn’t know how to go about it, and the PDP candidate will not make any impact. I would advise all of them to come together and give it to Soludo. The man who can do it better is no longer alive. However, they will rock Soludo’s government with insecurity; he should brace up and must not sleep otherwise, they can rig him.”
In Ekiti, the prophet states that Oyebanji will be favoured to return to power, but he must watch his back against internal crisis, court issues, and evil elements in his government. The prophet noted that he needs to put things in order for his victory to be certain.
“Ekiti: There are a lot of people who hate the Ekiti governor, but the point is Oyebanji is favoured to return for his second term. However, he must watch his back because there are evil elements who want him to lose.
“The crisis in Ekiti has not started yet, but God will help him to survive. They will also use a court matter against him after the election. He must not sleep; he must do more security checks to know who to put into position, though they are looking at fighting him from the federal level, he must wake up. He should put so many things in order for his victory to be certain.”
In Osun, Primate Ayodele warned Governor Adeleke to be ready for fighting because the opposition will not take it easy with him. He advised him to spread his political tentacles to all local governments and focus more on the grassroots.
The prophet commended the governor for the works he has done, while revealing that opposition is ready to blackmail him and sponsor a tribal crisis to destabilise his government. He advised the governor to be ready for anything towards, during and after the election.
“Osun: APC will fight Adeleke big time and try everything to destabilise him. He needs to wake up and restrategize, and spread his political tentacles to all the local governments. He needs more grassroots support from the kings, youths, farmers, and artisans.
“The APC is adamant to set his camp ablaze. They are ready to blackmail him and are ready for negative propaganda. He must be very careful with his policies, and they want to use his assembly to fight him. He has worked and done better than his predecessors, but the APC is ready to rig him out by any means necessary. He needs to work on his security and avoid border crisis and tribal crisis in Osun because the opposition wants to sponsor a crisis in Osun.”
Musa Ilyasu Kwankwoso, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State has sent a message to former Kaduna State Governor, Nasiru El-Rufai.
According to him, El-Rufai can’t remove President Bola Tinubu the same way he orchestrated the removal of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Kwankwaso stated this ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a statement issued to journalists in Kano on Tuesday, Kwankwaso described El-Rufai’s approach as outdated and ineffective, warning that the same tactics used against former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015 could not be replicated against Tinubu.
“You cannot oust President Bola Tinubu from the presidency in 2027 by engaging in the same method you did to former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015, using poverty, insecurity and economic devastation. Your blackmail is clear to all,” Kwankwaso said.
The APC chieftain maintained that President Tinubu had made notable progress in addressing insecurity and stabilizing prices of commodities, crediting National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu for ongoing improvements in the security sector. He accused El-Rufai of being displeased with these gains, insisting that Nigerians could clearly see the government’s efforts.
Kwankwaso further challenged El-Rufai to present evidence to support his allegations that the Tinubu administration was sponsoring banditry and other criminal acts. “In the absence of such evidence, El-Rufai should desist from further comments and allow the government to continue the good things it is doing for Nigerians,” he added.
He also alleged that El-Rufai was attempting to instigate the northern region against the Tinubu administration, but stressed that northerners were “not stupid” and could see the progress being made in areas like Birnin Gwari, Sokoto, and Borno.
Tagging the emerging coalition of opposition politicians as “a failure,” Kwankwaso argued that figures such as Atiku Abubakar, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and El-Rufai had nothing better to offer Nigerians. “Who amongst them has performed as good as Tinubu when he had the chance?” he asked.
The Kano APC stalwart also recalled recent successes recorded by security agencies in arresting commanders of bandits and terrorists. He called on Nigerians to continue supporting the Tinubu administration while discarding “all forms of blackmail perpetrated by opposition figures.”

Abati Blows Hot: I Blame Media For Collecting Money And Allowing Wike Talk Arrogantly And Unintelligently
I Blame Media For Collecting Money And Allowing Wike Talk Arrogantly And Unintelligently – Abati Blows Hot
Former presidential media aide, Reuben Abati, has called out the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, saying he has no moral ground to speak about Peter Obi, Goodluck Jonathan, and Nasir El-Rufai.
According to Abati, Wike needs to question his own character before he speaks about other people.
Naija News reports the veteran journalist made the submission on Tuesday while speaking on Arise TV in reaction to some earlier comments from Wike during his media chat on Monday.
The FCT Minister had cautioned Obi against returning to the Peoples Democratic Party after calling the party rotten and also advised Jonathan to resist the urge to contest the 2027 presidency.
However, Abati maintained that Wike has no right to talk about both men.
He also blamed journalists who consistently interview the former Rivers State Governor and give him screen time just in exchange for monetary benefits.
“Wike is not in a position to talk about character. In fact, if he talks about character, he should question his own character.
“I don’t know why people have problems with basic intelligence and decorum. He goes on television and he says Peter Obi doesn’t have character. Peter Obi left PDP and went to Labour Party, now he is in ADC. In fact, it is Wike himself who destroyed the party.
“And he also says fPresident Jonathan should not run on the platform of the PDP because he is a statesman. He is not in a position to advise Jonathan, just as he has made it clear that nobody can advise him.
“And who is he to determine the destiny of the PDP when he is already in another political party? And I blame the media. The media gives him a platform to disparage other political opponents. Yesterday, he was talking about Peter Obi, Jonathan, and El-Rufai. What gives him that high ground to talk recklessly and unintelligently?
“The media are the ones going to interview him, and they are the ones collecting money to put him on the air,” Abati submitted.
He cautioned the media to stop giving a platform for Wike to make overreaching and disparaging claims about political opponents
