2027: DLA suspends Adebisi’s presidential campaign and refers him to EFCC and police

The Democratic Leadership Alliance (DLA) has suspended all presidential campaign activities by its 2027 candidate, Moses Adebisi, pending disciplinary proceedings and investigations by the EFCC and police. The party, led by Samuel Memeh, cited an alleged personal financial undertaking, including a dud cheque, and said it would not assume responsibility for Adebisi’s unauthorised transactions.
