The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has claimed that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is under significant pressure from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) regarding the preparations for the 2027 general elections. This assertion was made by the party's National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, during an interview with The Sun.

The African Democratic Congress in Rivers State has rejected remarks by FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, who said ADC vice-presidential candidate Rotimi Amaechi would be defeated by noon on election day. According to Daily Trust, the ADC said intimidation would not win the 2027 election and stressed that only the Independent National Electoral Commission has the power to announce results.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has challenged Joash Amupitan, the head of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), regarding the upcoming 2027 elections. The ADC claims that INEC is facing a dilemma between maintaining its integrity and facing disgrace, urging Amupitan to consider how he wishes to be remembered in this context.

The Ndi Igbo community in Rivers State has endorsed Hon. Kingsley Chinda, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, ahead of the state's 2027 election. The endorsement was announced at an 'After August Meeting Solidarity Rally' organised by the community's Women's Wing at the Catholic Institute, according to The Tide.

The National Spokesman of the African Democratic Congress, Abdullahi, expressed concerns that the 2027 general elections in Nigeria may not take place. He attributed this apprehension to various persistent issues related to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the government led by the All Progressives Congress (APC). Additionally, he highlighted insecurity as a potential factor that could hinder the electoral process.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has cautioned its Administrative Secretaries across Nigeria's 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory against operational lapses ahead of the 2027 general election. INEC Chairman Professor Joash Amupitan issued the warning on September 7, 2026, in Lagos while opening a two-day Strategic Operational Workshop for the commission's officials, according to the Daily Post.
