 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...

 Labour Party Dismisses Crisis Rumours, Vows No Room for “Totalitarian Hallucinations”


The Labour Party (LP), through factions loyal to Abia State Governor Dr Alex Otti and 2023 presidential candidate Mr Peter Obi, has firmly rejected reports of internal crisis within the Senator Nenadi Usman-led caretaker leadership, describing such claims as baseless and orchestrated by external forces.


Speaking on Sunday, the party’s Interim National Publicity Secretary, Prince Tony Akeni, told journalists that allegations of arbitrary removal and replacement of key officers in the interim National Working Committee were completely unfounded.


“We wish to allay rumours claiming there are cracks in the Senator Nenadi Usman council due to alleged arbitrary actions. Such rumours are the handiwork of political jobbers who are uncomfortable with the new era of transparency and due process in the Labour Party,” Akeni said.


He reminded Nigerians that the LP remains unique as the only political party in Africa founded by an institution — the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) — rather than individuals, adding that the party has no place for “totalitarian hallucinations and edicts” that violate its constitution and founding principles.


Akeni also moved to calm nerves in several states where members feared that congress committees and interim state structures were being infiltrated by loyalists of the deposed former National Chairman, Julius Abure, or agents of rival parties, including the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).


“We assure genuine members that any attempt to smuggle Trojan horses into our structures under whatever secret settlement will be firmly resisted. Such sabotage aimed at derailing our preparations for the 2027 elections will not see the light of day,” he declared, promising that “time will see off such political herdsmen.”


The party referenced the Supreme Court judgment of April 4, 2025, which finally affirmed the removal of the Abure-led executive, stating that the LP had permanently closed the chapter on what it called an era of “mega corruption.”
