The political instability and accusations of electoral bias in Nigeria could lead to increased uncertainty for investors, potentially affecting the country's economic outlook. The predicted failure of the Nigeria — All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections, as stated by Ladan Salihu, suggests a potential shift in government, which could bring policy changes impacting various sectors.
Ladan Salihu, a chieftain of the Nigeria — African Democratic Congress (ADC), has publicly stated that the Nigeria — All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government, under President Bola Tinubu, will fail the integrity and credibility test in the 2027 general elections. Salihu attributes this to growing public anger and frustration among the people of Nigeria. He also renewed calls for the removal of Joash Amupitan, the Chairman of the Nigeria — Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), accusing him of bias and incompetence. The Nigeria — Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has denied these allegations, maintaining its chairman's neutrality. Salihu warned that the Nigeria — African Democratic Congress (ADC) and other opposition forces would intensify efforts to push for Joash Amupitan's removal, and while not definitively stating a boycott, indicated the party would make a decision on participation closer to the election.
