A member of the National Working Committee of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Oladimeji Fabiyi, has claimed that the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), came up with a hasty timetable while opposition parties were unprepared.
Fabiyi made the claims on Thursday, during a live interview appearance on Trust TV monitored in Abuja.
It would be recalled that INEC had announced the timetable and schedule for the 2027 general election.
INEC Chairman, Prof Joash Amupitan, had said the release of the timetable for the general election was in line with provisions of the 1999 Constitution and the Electoral Act, 2022, as amended.
Airing his opinion, Fabiyi said, “INEC should tell us where they got the timetable from.
“They want to hoodwink us because they see that the opposition are yet to put themselves together. They just want to rush everything and I tell you that it will blow on their faces.
“There’s a lot of bottlenecks against the opposition. If the APC is sure that they have done well and Nigerians are with them, why do they want to kill the opposition and destroy democracy?”
