It is very clear, when INEC released its timetable, that some of the requirements we will need to meet to be able to field candidates for the 2027 election, as contained in the Electoral Act, are almost impossible for us to meet. What the law expects us to do is that within the next 32 days or so, we will have a digitalised membership register in all the 36 states of the federation that we will be able to submit to INEC while giving them notice of our congresses or convention.
It is almost practically impossible for us to do this. We know for a fact that the ruling party, APC, commenced membership registration since February 2025 and actually hired consultants to help them develop a digital membership register ahead of the 2027 election. What took them more than one year to do is what they expect us to do within one month.
