Dele Momodu accuses APC of using statistics to mislead Nigerians

Dele Momodu, media and communications deputy director-general for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential campaign and a supporter of Atiku Abubakar, accused Bola Tinubu’s government of using economic statistics to mislead Nigerians. Speaking on Channels Television, he said the APC attacks the World Bank and The Economist when their assessments criticize Nigeria’s economic direction or borrowing. Momodu urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to publish the voters’ register, contrasting the APC’s claimed 12 million members with 103 million registered voters. He said politically unaffiliated voters—the “floaters party”—could influence the 2027 presidential election.

The firm says it acted because President Bola Tinubu has not disclosed the deal’s details and Nigerians are demanding transparency about their natural resources. It supports US access to critical minerals but says protections for affected communities are needed, and it plans to publish the documents if it receives them. Nigeria’s Presidency had not responded to the filing at the time of publication.
