INEC and neutrality test
INEC has redeployed Mrs Oluyemi Titilayo Adeyemi-Showunmi, wife of a Tinubu/Shettima 2027 campaign spokesman, from Lagos Administrative Secretary to Director of Electoral Operations, and nominated Prof. Mustapha Aliu, brother of an APC governor seeking re-election, as commissioner. Former INEC officials and civil society groups have raised concerns about neutrality, impartiality and public confidence, urging the commission to address the perceived conflicts by having her recuse herself from the sensitive role.
