ADC Comments on Proposed E-transmission of Results – Party Spokesman, Bolaji Abdullahi
The African Democratic Congress, ADC, says only an Electoral Amendment Act that unequivocally mandates real time electronic transmission of results, without exceptions capable of abuse, can command public confidence and strengthen Nigeria’s democracy.
The party spoke in a statement by its spokesman, Bolaji Abdullahi, on Wednesday.
The ADC said that the credibility of elections rests not on assurances but on clear, unambiguous legal guarantees that protect the will of the people.
It urged the National Assembly to immediately address and remove any provision that dilutes this safeguard and to align the final version of the Bill with the recommendations of the Conference Committee that called for e-transmission of results.
It also reiterated its commitment to standing with Nigerians in defense of transparent, credible, and verifiable elections.
“Only an Electoral Amendment Act that unequivocally mandates real time electronic transmission of results, without exceptions capable of abuse, can command public confidence and strengthen Nigeria’s democracy.
“Any provision in our electoral laws that creates ambiguity, discretion, or technical loopholes around the transmission and collation of election results fundamentally undermines the integrity of the electoral process and cannot be accepted in good conscience,” the statement said.
The All Progressives Congress, APC, has announced the postponement of its State, Local Government and Ward congresses in Adamawa State.
The decision was conveyed in a letter dated February 17, 2026, and addressed to the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
The letter, signed by the party’s National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, and National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru, stated that a new date for the congresses would be communicated later.
“We write to inform you of the postponement of the State, Local Government and Ward Congresses for Adamawa State. A new date will be communicated to you in due course. Thank you and please accept the assurances of our highest regards,” the letter read.
It was gathered that the postponement is aimed at allowing Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri to complete a planned defection from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the APC ahead of the congresses.
The chairmanship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Bwari Area Council, Julius Adamu, has stepped down for his All Progressives Congress, APC, counterpart, Joshua Ishaku Musa.
This is ahead of that February 21 Federal Capital Territory, FCT, area council polls.
The development is reportedly connected to the intervention of the FCT Minister Nyesom Wike
