ADC Slams Tinubu Over Ex-INEC Chair Yakubu’s Ambassadorial Nomination


The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has expressed strong opposition to President Bola Tinubu’s nomination of former INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu as an ambassador. The party described the move as “embarrassingly insensitive” and warned it could undermine public trust in Nigeria’s electoral system.

The ADC argues that appointing a former electoral umpire to a political/diplomatic role so soon after overseeing elections blurs the line between neutrality and political involvement.

Party spokesperson Bolaji Abdullahi urged Yakubu to reject the nomination, and called on the Senate to refuse confirmation if he does not.

ADC emphasized that the decision sends the wrong message about the independence and credibility of Nigeria’s electoral institutions.

The nomination has sparked nationwide debate, with critics claiming it erodes electoral integrity, while supporters see it as a routine political appointment. The controversy reflects ongoing tensions between political patronage and institutional independence in Nigeria’s governance.

The nomination is now pending Senate confirmation. Observers are watching closely, as the outcome could impact public confidence in future elections and the perception of neutrality of electoral institutions in the country.
