Vice President Kashim Shettima has mocked the African Democratic Congress over its online membership registration, saying that it has been inundated with fake identities. He also taunted the opposition party over its longstanding demand for real-time electronic transmission of election results.
It was reported that the ADC had, on March 1st, commenced online membership registration nationwide ahead of the 2027 general election, in compliance with the amended Electoral Act. The party also instructed existing members to update and revalidate their details in line with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2026 and the guidelines of the Independent National Electoral Commission.
However, the registration exercise has been marred by several incorrect details, including fake names, National Identification Numbers and mismatched photographs, raising concerns about the integrity of the process. In a statement on Tuesday, the party said it had corrected observed anomalies on its digital membership registration platform following widespread reports of fake entries.
Speaking yesterday, during an interfaith breaking of fast attended by federal ministers and hosted by President Bola Tinubu, Shettima claimed that the party’s registration portal had been overwhelmed by fictitious entries.
