2027: There’ll be fake polling units, booths stationed for rigging – Primate Ayodele warns
The leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, on Sunday cautioned that fake polling units and booths would be set up during the 2027 general elections in a bid to facilitate rigging in certain areas.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele said the fraudulent polling units would be established across the country, potentially trapping unsuspecting voters.
He urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to remain vigilant, warning that failure to address the threat could severely undermine the credibility of the polls.
According to the cleric, plans to manipulate the election are already in place, with the creation of fake polling units, booths and some electoral materials forming part of the strategy.
“For the upcoming election in Nigeria, I am seeing a lot of fake things regarding the election which the INEC must take seriously. I am seeing fake polling units and booths spread across the country to weaken the votes of some individuals and rig some people out,” he stated.
“The commission must ensure they take this very seriously because it will have a negative effect on the election. Let the commission work hard in this area and ensure people are well-informed; if not, it will happen successfully.”
Primate Ayodele further described the forthcoming presidential election as particularly challenging and criticised INEC for what he described as a lack of preparedness.
He called on the INEC chairman to put the commission’s house in order and ensure a credible process, warning that failure to do so could have personal consequences for the chairman.
“INEC hasn’t shown readiness for this coming election. They don’t know what is coming, but I want to urge the chairman to put his house in order and deliver a credible election because there will be issues if he doesn’t. He will be affected personally. The election will be very tough, unlike the ones we have had in the past,” he added.
