He warned that unless these issues are managed with extreme care, they could derail the trajectory of the 2027 general elections.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dagogo, in this exclusive interview with Pointblanknews.com, spoke extensively on the controversy surrounding the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission to deregister the executive of the African Democratic Congress led by David Mark, the implications of a proposed nationwide voter revalidation exercise, and the growing but contested momentum of the ADC as a viable opposition force.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the deregistration of the ADC executive, Dagogo did not hide his concern, stating that the development has stirred widespread public reaction and raised questions about the neutrality of the electoral umpire. He warned that such a move could weaken the opposition space at a critical time.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe public outcry that has followed this decision reflects the deep dissatisfaction among Nigerians. Many are deeply concerned that INEC\u2019s actions seem to be steering the country towards an election that could resemble more of a coronation of the ruling party than a true democratic contest.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He further argued that the decision could significantly affect opposition parties\u2019 ability to effectively organize ahead of 2027, particularly as the People\u2019s Democratic Party and the Labour Party continue to grapple with internal crises.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cINEC\u2019s interpretation of the Appeal Court ruling, particularly its decision to deregister the David Mark-led ADC executive, appears to be partisan and potentially disadvantages opposition forces.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite this, he maintained that such pressure could backfire and strengthen the ADC\u2019s appeal among Nigerians seeking alternatives.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cHistory shows that such tactics often backfire. The more these maneuvers persist, the stronger the resolve of the opposition and the more support the ADC will gain from Nigerians yearning for change.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the proposed nationwide voter revalidation exercise, Dagogo described the move as alarming, particularly given its timing just months before the elections.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe announcement of a nationwide voter revalidation exercise just nine months before the 2027 elections is indeed troubling. It raises legitimate concerns about the true independence of INEC.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He stressed that while the law empowers INEC to update the voter register, it does not require citizens to undergo revalidation.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cRevalidation is a departure from the established process. It shifts responsibility from INEC to the voters themselves, and in a country with about 100 million voters, this could lead to widespread disenfranchisement.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dagogo warned that such a move could reduce voter turnout and deepen political apathy, especially among vulnerable populations.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis creates unnecessary obstacles to participation and could ultimately undermine democratic principles.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Addressing the perception that the ADC and the ruling All Progressives Congress are indistinguishable, Dagogo acknowledged public skepticism but insisted the ADC offers a different path.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIt\u2019s understandable that many Nigerians are skeptical, given the long-standing patterns of political dysfunction. But the ADC is offering a genuine alternative.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He emphasized that Nigerians are not just seeking a change in leadership but a shift in governance approach.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe ADC is committed to transparency, accountability, and people-centered governance. Nigerians want leadership that addresses the economy, security, and long-term development.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the issue of selecting a presidential candidate, Dagogo described it as a defining moment for the party.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe challenge of selecting a presidential candidate is significant, but it is also an opportunity for the ADC to prove that it listens to the people.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He stressed the need for a candidate with competence and integrity.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe party must present someone who reflects the aspirations of Nigerians and has the moral clarity to lead. Unity will be key in ensuring the ADC emerges stronger.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Speaking on the rising popularity of the ADC, Dagogo attributed it to strategic positioning and the party\u2019s focus on real issues affecting Nigerians.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe ADC\u2019s rise is not accidental. It is the result of reflection, planning, and a genuine commitment to addressing national challenges.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He contrasted this with what he described as distractions within the ruling establishment.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhile others are consumed by internal conflicts, the ADC has been focused on solutions. That is why its message is resonating with Nigerians.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the National Assembly\u2019s approval of a \u20a69 trillion loan request by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Dagogo expressed concern over the speed and lack of clarity surrounding the decision.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe speed at which the Senate approved the loan is concerning. Nigerians deserve transparency on how such funds will be utilized.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He stressed that borrowing must be tied to clear developmental outcomes.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cBorrowing alone will not solve Nigeria\u2019s problems. There must be a clear plan to address insecurity, economic instability, and infrastructure deficits.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dagogo concluded by noting that the current developments reflect a broader anxiety about the state of Nigeria\u2019s democracy, but expressed hope that public demand for accountability and change\u00a0 could transform the political structure ahead of 2027.<\/div>\n<div id=\"m_3097654222104845784ymail_android_signature\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Lizzy Chirkpi Farah Dagogo, a former federal lawmaker and 2023 Rivers State governorship aspirant, has raised the alarm over Nigeria\u2019s current electoral and political instability.
