2027: Atiku Lied, Tinubu Is Not Planning to Postpone Elections, Presidential Aide Says

Dada Olusegun, President Bola Tinubu’s special assistant on social media, says there is no plan to postpone Nigeria’s 2027 general elections and that Tinubu and the ruling APC are not involved in any such plan. He was responding to African Democratic Congress presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, who said he had heard the election date might be changed following events at the APC campaign launch in Kaduna. Olusegun said the electoral commission, INEC, had improved under Tinubu and that the president was committed to its independence. He also described the Kaduna rally as a success, saying supporters came from every local government area in the state.
