Kenneth Okonkwo accuses INEC of already rigging the 2027 election

Kenneth Okonkwo, spokesman for ADC presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, says Oluyemi Titilayo Adeyemi-Showunmi’s redeployment to lead INEC’s Electoral Operations Department threatens the credibility of Nigeria’s 2027 election. He cited a potential conflict of interest because she is married to Segun Showunmi, an APC campaign council deputy spokesperson who supports President Bola Tinubu’s re-election. Segun Showunmi denied the redeployment was a political reward, describing his wife as a career civil servant and Level 17 officer. Okonkwo also questioned the voter register, citing reports that deceased people remain listed.
