Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Timi Frank, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to implement vital reforms ahead of the 2027 elections to ensure free, fair, and credible polls.<\/p>\n

Frank made this known on Sunday in a statement.<\/p>\n

This comes after Gen-Z triggered protests against anti-corruption, which led to the resignation of Nepal\u2019s Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, the death of the PM\u2019s wife, Kathmandu-Rabi Laxmi Chitrakar, and the burning down of parliament.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the Nepal incident, Frank emphasised that INEC, the judiciary, and security agencies, as well as other democratic institutions in the country, have critical roles in upholding the rule of law and preventing similar unrest.<\/p>\n

He also urged the ruling All Progressives Congress to stop attacking, intimidating, and harassing opposition leaders in the country.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cThis bold and positive action should not stand alone. As the nation looks ahead to the 2027 general elections, INEC must replicate this same spirit of independence and courage in the overall conduct of the polls.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that the new leadership of the ADC has been recognised by INEC, we urge Nigerians to repose confidence in and support it as the party that would change Nigeria for the better and ensure freedom and prosperity for all. We also urge Nigerians to be prepared to vote and defend their votes in 2027.\"Daily<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
