The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) seems to have ignored its responsibility of checking the excesses of political parties over their current resort to public campaigns ahead of the 2027 general election.
Signs of early campaigns emerged with rising presence of political posters, gale of endorsements, mobilisation and escalating verbal exchanges among political figures.
In June, the posters promoting President Bola Tinubu’s re-election emerged everywhere in Abuja, sparking debate about the appropriateness of such activities, given that the official campaign season is yet to begin.
