The All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed strong belief that President Bola Tinubu will remain in office after the 2027 elections, regardless of who is appointed as the next chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Ajibola Basiru, the National Secretary of the party, shared this view during an interview with The Sun.

The current INEC chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, is expected to complete his second term before the end of this year.

There are ongoing reports suggesting that efforts are already underway to identify his successor.

Asked if the APC-led government is seeking to recommend a new chairman for the electoral body, Ajibola Basiru said, “how can you be asking a player to recommend a referee? We are players and don’t care about which referee was brought to officiate the match”.

According to him, “the recommendation is the job of civil society organisations and lawmakers.

“Our own job is to mobilize, galvanized, and sensitise our members for whoever they like. In fact, by the time we mobilise, even if the new chairman of INEC is the father of the presidential candidate of another party, Asiwaju will still win the election.”
