The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Sokoto State has called on President Bola Tinubu to reconsider the nomination of Professor Mustapha Aliyu as an INEC National Commissioner representing the North-West. The party's governorship candidate, Hon. Manir Muhammad Dan'iya, urged the Senate to conduct a thorough screening of Aliyu, citing the nominee's reported family relationship with Governor Ahmed Aliyu. The state government has defended the nominee's credentials. The disagreement has renewed debate over the independence of the electoral body ahead of the 2027 general elections.
