2027: Tinubu campaigner Segun Showunmi defends wife's new INEC role

Segun Showunmi, a member of the APC Presidential Campaign Council supporting Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election, said his political work had nothing to do with his wife’s new INEC assignment. The commission transferred career officer Oluyemi Adeyemi-Showunmi from her role as administrative secretary in Lagos State to its national headquarters to head Electoral Operations ahead of the 2027 elections. Isah Magaji Gummi, who previously led the department, was moved to the Voter Registry Department. Speaking on Channels Television, Showunmi called the posting an internal administrative decision and urged critics to consider his wife’s record as a level 17 INEC officer.
