NDC Accuses INEC Official of Report Discrepancies in Kano
On October 16, 2026, the NDC submitted a petition to INEC, addressing the alleged conduct of Hauwa Buhari Buhari, who is the Head of the Department of Election and Party Monitoring at INEC's Kano office. The petition, filed through the party's lawyers, Tahir Chambers, claimed that multiple versions of a report concerning the NDC's Kano State primary were issued and signed by Hauwa Buhari Buhari, containing materially inconsistent information.
The reports allegedly included names of individuals who were neither candidates nor participants in the primary election, while omitting duly nominated candidates. The NDC also pointed out that the reports failed to specify the date of the primary election.
The documents were reportedly being circulated and used in various court proceedings against the NDC. The petition did not detail all the remedies sought by the party, and the allegations could not be independently verified.
As of the petition's submission, neither INEC nor Hauwa Buhari Buhari had responded to the allegations.
