ADC predicts APC will fail integrity test at 2027 polls
ADC chieftain Ladan Salihu has declared that the APC-led government will fail the integrity and credibility test at the 2027 general elections. Speaking on Channels Television's Sunday Politics on April 26, Salihu stated that the government "will not measure up with the anger and the frustrations of the Nigerian people."
The ADC leader also renewed calls for INEC Chairman Prof. Joash Amupitan to resign or be removed over alleged bias, despite the electoral body's denials of partiality. Salihu claimed Amupitan "has failed the integrity test" and "scandalises every person that has integrity in Nigeria." When asked if ADC would boycott elections conducted by Amupitan, Salihu indicated the party would decide at the appropriate time, but warned they would intensify campaigns for his removal if he remains.
Salihu further claimed APC is jittery despite controlling 31 states and the National Assembly, saying "they don't have control of the people." He expressed confidence ADC would win the 2027 election, noting "Nigerians are tired of the APC for failing in its responsibilities."
With opposition unity growing and the APC facing integrity concerns, how will political realignment shape the 2027 election landscape if INEC leadership remains unchanged?
