The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to immediately confirm whether a leaked memo proposing a nationwide voter revalidation exercise is genuine. The party described the alleged plan as a "recipe for chaos," warning it could disenfranchise millions of voters ahead of upcoming elections. ADC national chairman Ahmed Igbeaese called on INEC to clarify its position, stressing that any attempt to revalidate the current voter register would undermine electoral integrity. The commission has not yet responded to the leak or the growing demands for transparency. The controversy emerges amid heightened political tensions over electoral processes in Nigeria.
A party chairman is demanding answers from INEC over a memo no one has confirmed exists. If Ahmed Igbeaese has seen proof of voter revalidation plans, he should say where and when. Until then, the alarm serves more as political theatre than a policy challenge. Nigerians gain nothing from unsubstantiated claims dressed as concern.
