ADC accuses APC of lying about inflated 11 million primary election votes

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of deceiving Nigerians with inflated figures from its recent primary election. ADC National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi told journalists that APC’s claim of President Bola Tinubu winning with 10.99 million votes is false and part of a scheme to rig the 2027 general elections. He challenged APC to produce a verifiable membership register submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to prove its alleged 11 million members. The ADC rejected the notion of setting figures to mislead the public, calling the APC’s actions laughable if not for the serious implications. DAILY POST noted the APC’s primary results were announced on Sunday, prompting the opposition’s strong rebuttal. The article also mentions related developments: ADC postponing its presidential primary results collation, Kwara APC aspirants being anointed for the 2027 governorship race, and individual departures from APC over alleged manipulation in primaries. These accusations highlight growing tensions between the ruling party and opposition as Nigeria approaches the 2027 election cycle, raising concerns about electoral integrity and the need for transparent party membership verification.
