APC Secretary Basiru Defends 2027 INEC Timetable

On Saturday, APC Secretary Basiru responded to opposition complaints about the 2027 Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) timetable, describing their objections as misplaced and politically motivated. He emphasized that the timetable is in strict compliance with the Electoral Act.

Basiru's remarks came in reaction to calls from opposition parties for a review of the schedule, which they argue imposes tight deadlines that could disadvantage them in the upcoming elections. He advised aggrieved parties to pursue legal avenues if they believe the timetable contravenes the law, rather than engaging in public criticism.

Basiru's comments reflect a broader sentiment within the APC that the opposition's outcry indicates a lack of preparedness for the 2027 polls.
