 The credibility of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) voters’ register has come under intense scrutiny ahead of the 2027 general elections, following revelations by INEC Chairman Professor Joash Amupitan that names of deceased persons remain on the register. Amupitan disclosed that names of voters who died as far back as 15 years ago are still listed, a situation critics say could undermine the integrity of the 2027 polls and lead to significant financial waste through the printing of excess ballot papers and other election logistics. The INEC chairman made the revelation while receiving the Director-General/Chief Executive Officer of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), Abisoye Coker-Odusote, and her management team during a courtesy visit in Abuja on Wednesday. Amupitan announced that INEC has entered into a partnership with NIMC to deliver a credible voters’ register and transparent elections. He said INEC would leverage NIMC’s robust data archi...

 PDP has incurable virus, can’t be adopted by opposition coalition – Babachir Lawal


Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal, has disclosed that the opposition coalition can’t adopt the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, because the party has incurable virus.

Lawal made the claim while featuring on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Wednesday.

He also disclosed that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is one of the most committed politicians working towards birthing an opposition coalition in Nigeria.

Lawal said Atiku is the most active participant in the quest for the actualisation of the opposition coalition.

Lawal said: “Atiku is entitled to his political ambition like every other Nigerian, it’s not for me to decide which platform Atiku will contest, it’s for him and his inner circle to decide.

“In most of the political meetings I have attended with regards to merger or the new political platform, I have run into Atiku severally – he has been an active participant on the need for opposition political parties to move into one platform to form one strong opposition party.

“We have a technical committee of experts who analyze all the possible political parties we could adapt and move in to, to strengthen it and make it more suitable, and Atiku has presented himself at all such meetings. My reading of him is that he is committed to this course. In fact, he is one of the most committed to this course.

“As to the coalition itself, it’s mostly driven by prominent politicians who agree to come together to form this coalition.

“In all the analysis I have seen so far, nobody has said we should adopt the PDP because we have all agreed that the party has an incurable virus, and anti-biotics can’t cure it – so we can’t go into a house that is not remodified and not willing to change.”

The elder statesman also expressed happiness that people describe him as a religious bigot.

Lawal said: “I’m a trained pastor and went to the seminary for four years and I augmented by religious background with a masters in theology so if you call me a Christian religious bigot, I’m very happy because it’s a compliment. It means that my lifestyle conveys that I’m a Christian.”
