Tinubu launched his 2027 re-election campaign in Kaduna, blaming opposition politicians for hunger and poverty while defending his economic reforms and inaugurating an 81km section of the Abuja–Kaduna highway.
Atiku has urged INEC to publish the preliminary register of more than 103 million voters, alleging that the online list was inaccessible during the scheduled scrutiny period. INEC has disputed claims that it violated the law.
President Tinubu has nominated four National Commissioners and two Resident Electoral Commissioners for INEC and asked the Senate to speed up confirmation ahead of the January 2027 elections.
