\u201cToday, I joined leaders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and other committed democrats at a world press conference to strongly condemn the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC\u2019s brazen and unacceptable partisanship,\u201d Kwankwaso wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cI fully endorse the position of the gathering: In 2027, Nigerians must be allowed to freely choose their leaders from a diverse range of political parties.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe electoral umpire has no right to impose a single candidacy on Africa\u2019s largest and most vibrant democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
