Political activist, Aisha Yesufu, has alleged that officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) were bribed to remove the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Yesufu made the claim during a live interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’ on Monday.

The co-convener of the BringBackOurGirls Movement also suggested that reports have emerged claiming the INEC Chairman was allegedly threatened into taking action.

This comes after INEC recently removed former Senate President David Mark as the national chairman of the ADC.

Sharing her thoughts, Yesufu stated, “There are reports that INEC officials were allegedly bribed with monies up to $50,000, and lands were given. Where is the EFCC and ICPC in all of this?”

“The judiciary has turned itself into the plate of corrupt politicians. And that’s not what it should be. You’re having places where houses are being built for them, where all sorts of meetings are going on and stuff like that. Then that’s what worries every one of us.”

She continued, “My thinking is that one institution should be independent, and if you have institutions that are independent, not the one that you’re hearing people being threatened.”

“Yesufu added, “If there is independence, if there’s accountability, transparency, we don’t have all of these shenanigans going on.”

She also expressed concern that when institutions, especially the judiciary, become tools of oppression against opposition parties, it undermines the country’s democracy.

“This democracy, by the way, many people died for it for us to have what we have today, and we cannot have a few people come and destroy it just because they want to hang on to power that they are not deserving of,” Yesufu concluded.
