Opposition Parties Call For INEC Chairman’s Resignation, Disclose Plans To Jointly Campaign For ‘One’ Presidential Candidate
Ahead of the 2027 general election, opposition parties in the country will jointly campaign for ‘one’ presidential candidate and ensure that he or she records ‘victory’ through ‘unity of effort’, a factional National Chairman of PDP, Alhaji Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, has submitted.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Alhaji Kabiru Turaki made this disclosure during the National Opposition Summit held in Ibadan, Oyo State on Saturday while noting that this decision is part of a broader effort to enhance the chances of the opposition parties and also stop President Bola Tinubu from making the upcoming presidential election an ‘uncontested election’.
‘Despite the onslaughts and machinations of the ruling party, the APC, to ensure that President Bola Tinubu emerges as the sole presidential candidate in 2027, we shall field candidates and contest the 2027 presidential and other elections.
Three, we shall work towards fielding one presidential candidate for the 2027 election. We will agree and he will be supported by all participating opposition parties to rescue our nation and our long-suffering masses’ he added.
The opposition parties also demanded the resignation of Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan as chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) submitting that his continued stay in office will erode public confidence in the electoral process and heighten political tensions ahead of the 2027 general election.
‘INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan, having shown bias and open partisanship in favour of the ruling APC, should not oversee the 2027 general election as Nigerians across the board have lost confidence in him and his capacity to guarantee the required neutrality to deliver a free, fair, transparent, and credible election.
His continued stay in office is vexatious and capable of triggering widespread crises in our nation’ they submitted.
The National Opposition Summit in question was attended mainly by ADC and PDP bigwigs –Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
