InterSociety Threatens Sanctions Against Six Nigerian Governors
The International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (InterSociety) has threatened to pursue international sanctions against six Nigerian governors, including Charles Soludo of Anambra and Hyacinth Alia of Benue, for promoting political intolerance and undermining opposition activities ahead of the 2027 elections. In a statement issued in Enugu, InterSociety accused the governors of political exclusion, intimidation of opposition figures, and abuse of state power, particularly against the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Allegations included attacks on opposition supporters in Enugu, threats against leaders in Ebonyi, and attempts to restrict opposition activities in several states. InterSociety also raised concerns about the independence of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and alleged that political influence compromised its operations, particularly in Anambra.
The group warned that unresolved issues with the voters’ register and PVC production could disenfranchise millions in the upcoming elections.
