DLA Suspends Presidential Candidate Adebisi Over Allegations

The Democratic Leadership Alliance (DLA) has referred its 2027 presidential candidate, Moses Adebisi, to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Inspector-General of Police over allegations of misconduct. The party announced the suspension of all campaign activities related to Adebisi pending an internal disciplinary process.

Adebisi denied the allegations, claiming he contributed over N90m to support the party. DLA's National Chairman, Samuel Memeh, stated that the disciplinary action was initiated due to concerns regarding a financial commitment made by Adebisi before the substitution primary on August 20, 2026, including a dud cheque.

A letter dated August 29, 2026, invited Adebisi to respond to these issues, leading to the suspension of his campaign activities. Memeh emphasized that the party would not be responsible for unauthorized personal financial commitments made by Adebisi and directed party members not to endorse him in any campaign materials.
