Ex-INEC Chair Jega Urges EFCC and ICPC to Probe Third-Party Campaigners Ahead of 2027 Elections
Former INEC Chair, Jega, urged EFCC and ICPC to investigate third-party campaigners ahead of the 2027 elections during an INEC roundtable in Abuja. Jega criticized the increasing trend of premature political campaigns, which he deemed unlawful and a threat to the integrity of the upcoming elections.
He emphasized the need for a strict Election Offences Commission Tribunal to prosecute electoral offenders. Jega highlighted that the campaign for the 2027 elections had already begun, violating the Electoral Act's stipulated timeline.
He warned that premature campaigning could shift leaders' focus from governance to politicking, potentially undermining the electoral process. Jega's call for a probe aligns with efforts to ensure fair and lawful electoral practices in Nigeria.
