Nigeria: INEC purges 1.6m voter registrations; 2027 jockeying intensifies

INEC rejected over 1.6 million invalid voter registrations and flagged 54 personnel for investigation, a routine but significant integrity step ahead of the 2027 elections. Concurrently, political maneuvering is underway: Wike's ₦10m pledge to councillors drew APC defense, APC set ambitious Ebonyi vote targets, and Atiku's son declared support for Tinubu in Jigawa. The developments signal early coalition realignments and internal party dynamics shaping the 2027 contest.
