The ADC Seeks Nafiu Gombe’s Prosecution following allegations that he falsely claimed candidates had been uploaded to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) portal for the 2027 general elections.
According to reports monitored by Valid9ja, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) made the demand after INEC publicly dismissed the claim, describing it as false and misleading. The party argued that spreading misinformation about the electoral process could undermine public confidence in Nigeria’s democracy.
The development has generated fresh political debate, with stakeholders emphasizing the need for accurate information on electoral matters.
ADC Seeks Nafiu Gombe’s Prosecution After INEC Debunks Claim
Valid9ja gathered that the ADC accused Nafiu Gombe of making statements suggesting that candidates had already been uploaded to INEC’s portal ahead of the 2027 elections.
However, INEC reportedly refuted the claim, maintaining that no such process had taken place and urging members of the public to disregard the information.
The opposition party insisted that individuals who knowingly spread false information capable of misleading voters should be investigated and prosecuted in accordance with the law.
According to the party, protecting the integrity of Nigeria’s electoral process requires firm action against misinformation and document forgery.
INEC Reaffirms Commitment to Credible Elections
Information obtained by Valid9ja shows that INEC reiterated its commitment to conducting transparent and credible elections while encouraging citizens to rely only on official information released by the commission.
Election observers say misinformation surrounding electoral processes can create unnecessary confusion, reduce public trust, and fuel political tensions.
Political analysts also noted that as preparations gradually begin for future elections, political parties and supporters must avoid circulating unverified claims capable of misleading Nigerians.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) regularly publishes official updates, election guidelines, and public notices through its official website. Citizens are encouraged to verify electoral information directly from INEC’s official portal: https://www.inecnigeria.org/
