A political storm is brewing as media analyst Mahmud Jega has alleged that the ongoing crisis rocking the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is being deliberately orchestrated to weaken Nigeria’s opposition bloc.
Speaking during a live broadcast, Jega cautioned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) against actions that could erode public trust, warning that the electoral umpire must remain neutral and above suspicion.
He argued that INEC’s handling of opposition party developments has raised serious concerns, noting that a proposed platform, ADA, was allegedly stalled for two years before political actors shifted to ADC—only to face fresh hurdles.
“The impression INEC is giving is that it is part of a scheme to destroy all opposition parties,” Jega stated, urging the commission to act with caution to avoid undermining Nigeria’s democratic process.
The remarks come amid growing tension within opposition circles, with stakeholders warning that any perceived bias by INEC could further deepen political divisions ahead of the 2027 elections.
