The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has on Wednesday asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to confirm a leaked memo revealing a possible nationwide voter revalidation exercise.
According to a statement by the National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the party claimed it had received reports of an internal memo linked to INEC and called for immediate clarification.
The statement read, “We call on INEC to immediately confirm to Nigerians whether this memo is genuine, and whether it reflects an official plan of the Commission.”
The ADC noted that if such a plan exists, its timing may affect voter participation.
It said asking already registered voters to revalidate their details close to an election period could create challenges for some citizens.
“Coming less than ten months to a general election, such an exercise risks disenfranchising millions of Nigerians.”
The party noted that some voters may not be able to travel to designated centres within a short time frame, insisting that this could limit participation and affect public confidence in the process.
The ADC expressed concern that the report emerged through a leaked memo rather than an official announcement.
The statement maintained, “For an exercise of this magnitude, Nigerians deserve transparency, not ambiguity.”
The ADC urged INEC to provide clear information and avoid steps that may create confusion for voters.
It also called on the commission to reassure Nigerians of its commitment to a credible and inclusive electoral process.
