Tambuwal Joins ADC Leaders, Protests Against INEC Partisanship

Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal has joined other leaders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in a peaceful protest against what he described as the perceived partisanship of Nigeria’s electoral umpire.

In a statement shared on his official X account, the former Governor of Sokoto State said the demonstration was a patriotic action driven by a collective commitment to safeguarding Nigeria’s democracy.

Tambuwal emphasised the need to ensure that the country’s electoral process remains credible, fair, and transparent, noting that any compromise in these principles poses a serious threat to democratic governance.

He warned against attempts to undermine democratic institutions or create pathways for authoritarian tendencies, stressing that the protest was not merely political but a necessary duty to protect the integrity of the nation.

The protest, which involved key ADC stakeholders, reflects growing concerns among opposition leaders over the neutrality and conduct of electoral processes in the country ahead of future elections.

Meanwhile, the former Governor of Kano State Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, stated that the coalition would continue to monitor INEC’s activities, to ensure its return to the path of impartiality.

“Today, I joined fellow coalition leaders and committed democrats to strongly condemn the blatant partisanship and compromised neutrality of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The peaceful procession in Abuja united various opposition groups in a clear message: we will not stand idly by, while our electoral umpire undermines the will of the people.

“We shall continue to closely monitor INEC’s activities and demand that it immediately returns to the path of impartiality, transparency, and professionalism so that democracy can thrive in Nigeria,” he stated.
