 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 PROLONGED ABSENCE OF PRESIDENT TINUBU AT THIS TIME OF NATIONAL CRISIS, DEPICTS FAILURE- PETER OBI . (PHOTO).


 The prolonged absence of president Tinubu at this time of national crisis, depicts failure-  Peter Obi 


Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has raised concerns over the prolonged absence of President Bola Tinubu amid Nigeria’s worsening socio-economic challenges, describing it as a failure of leadership.


In a statement posted on his X account, Obi said Nigeria is facing a national emergency marked by rising poverty, hunger, insecurity, youth unemployment, and high infant mortality, yet the President has reportedly spent extended periods abroad, including 196 days outside the country in 2025. He lamented that Nigerians have not heard directly from the President since December 2025, noting the absence of a New Year address or national broadcast to reassure citizens.


Obi also criticised the President’s silence on major security developments, stating that Nigerians learned of critical incidents from foreign sources rather than their own leader.


 He argued that governance requires presence, transparency, and direct engagement, not press statements or proxy communications.


According to Obi, leadership absence undermines unity and trust at a time when the nation needs clear direction. 


He stressed that while Nigerians do not demand perfection, they deserve visible leadership, warning that silence in a time of crisis is “the loudest form of failure.”
