Timi Frank, a former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to carry out significant reforms ahead of the 2027 general elections to guarantee transparent and credible outcomes.

Frank expressed his views in a statement released on Sunday.

His remarks come in the wake of recent protests in Nepal, largely driven by Gen-Z activists, which ultimately led to the resignation of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, the reported death of his wife, Kathmandu-Rabi Laxmi Chitrakar, and the destruction of the national parliament building by fire.

In his response to the developments in Nepal, Frank stressed the importance of institutions such as INEC, the judiciary, security agencies, and other pillars of democracy in Nigeria. He noted that these bodies must play their part in maintaining the rule of law and averting similar chaos.

He also appealed to the APC-led government to desist from persecuting opposition figures through intimidation, harassment, or attacks.

He said, “This bold and positive action should not stand alone. As the nation looks ahead to the 2027 general elections, INEC must replicate this same spirit of independence and courage in the overall conduct of the polls.

“Now that the new leadership of the ADC has been recognised by INEC, we urge Nigerians to repose confidence in and support it as the party that would change Nigeria for the better and ensure freedom and prosperity for all. We also urge Nigerians to be prepared to vote and defend their votes in 2027.”
