Summary: Sunday Dare, Special Adviser to President Tinubu, dismisses allegations of APC’s plot to monopolize the 2027 elections, emphasizing democratic principles and fair electoral competition
Sunday Dare, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Public Communication, has come out strongly to debunk claims that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is scheming to dominate the 2027 general election ballot.
Speaking to concerns raised by opposition parties and political observers, Dare made it categorically clear that there is no design—whether secretly planned or openly executed—to exclude other political parties from participating in the upcoming polls.
Setting the Record Straight
The presidential aide emphasized that the APC remains committed to democratic principles and fair electoral competition. His statement comes amid growing political tension as Nigeria gradually approaches another election cycle, with opposition parties raising alarms about alleged manipulation tactics.
“Let me state clearly that there is no design, whether covertly or overtly, to have just the APC on the ballot,” Dare declared, addressing what he described as baseless allegations meant to create unnecessary political heat.
Democracy Remains Sacrosanct
Dare’s clarification is particularly significant as Nigerians have become increasingly vigilant about protecting the integrity of their electoral process. The 2023 general elections sparked widespread debates about electoral reforms and the need for transparent political competition.
The Special Adviser stressed that the Tinubu administration recognizes the importance of a vibrant multi-party democracy where different political platforms can freely contest for the mandate of Nigerians.
What This Means for 2027
As political parties begin positioning themselves for the 2027 elections, Dare’s statement sends a clear message that the ruling party is prepared to compete on the strength of its achievements rather than resort to undemocratic practices.
Political analysts believe this clarification was necessary to calm rising tensions in Nigeria’s political space and reassure citizens that democratic norms will be respected as the country moves toward another electoral season.
The coming months will undoubtedly see increased political activities as parties strategize and mobilize support across Nigeria’s diverse political landscape.
