ADC to INEC, Police: You’re erasing the line between state, APC
By Luminous Jannamike ABUJA — The African Democratic Congress, ADC, on Thursday challenged the neutrality of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and the Nigeria Police Force ahead of the 2027 general elections, accusing both institutions of ‘blurring the line’ between the Nigerian state and the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.“The Nigeria Police Force belongs to the Nigerian people, not to any political party,” Abdullahi said, urging the Inspector-General of Police to explain whether the officer’s attendance was officially authorised and whether it was consistent with the political neutrality expected of senior police officers.
The party said reports that a faction of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, led by Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, had been engaged by INEC for election logistics, alongside the appearance of the Lagos State Commissioner of Police at the launch of the pro-Tinubu City Boy Movement, had reinforced fears that institutions expected to stand above partisan politics were drifting into it.
