A former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, has charged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to use the Anambra governorship election to show the commission’s trustworthiness in the face of repeated accusations that the umpire is biased.
Atiku made the call on Sunday when he wrote on his X handle, throwing support for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) candidate in the election, Nwosu Chuma, in the November 8, 2025, poll.
According to him, “The election is also an opportunity for the electoral umpire under the leadership of Prof Joash Amupitan, SAN, to prove to the world that it has turned a new page, and that the integrity of our election would not be sacrificed for the satisfaction of the ruling party.”
Atiku said the election is beyond a poll, describing it as a “unique opportunity” to end bad governance.
“The Anambra State governorship election next weekend is one in the number of off cycle elections according to the country’s election timetable.
“Atiku added, but rather than being like any other, the election to elect the next governor of Anambra State on November 8 offers a unique. The election next weekend calls our consciousness to a moment when we must rally round the candidate of the African Democratic Congress, Nwosu Chima John, and Nwobu Geoffrey Ndubisi to lead Anambra State to a new era of prosperity and economic stability.”
