INEC Awaiting Official Court Order on ADC and Tinubu, Confirms Amupitan — The Abuja Times Newsroom

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is currently awaiting a formal Certified True Copy of the judgment from the Federal High Court regarding the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and President Bola Tinubu. This announcement comes from the commission’s spokesperson, who reiterated that INEC does not act based on unverified social media reports.

Amupitan, the spokesperson for INEC, expressed the commission’s commitment to due process, stating, "As of today, I have not received a Certified True Copy of the judgement of the Federal High Court because we don’t just act on the basis of what is on social media." This statement underscores the need for official documentation in electoral matters, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the electoral process.

The ADC has been in the spotlight following legal proceedings that have implications for its leadership and electoral status. The outcome of this case could significantly affect the political landscape, particularly in relation to President Tinubu’s administration, and the commission's response will be pivotal in shaping the way forward.

"We await the appropriate legal documents before taking any action," Amupitan emphasized.

As the situation develops, the commission’s adherence to official procedures is expected to play a crucial role in ensuring that all parties involved are treated fairly and that the electoral process remains transparent and accountable.
