2027 Polls Under Threat?” – Timi Frank Accuses Ruling Party, Senate President Of Plotting Election Rigging

In a statement released on Sunday, Frank appealed to United States President Donald Trump and the international community to step in, warning that inaction could trigger instability, violent unrest, and a collapse of law and order.

He accused the ruling party, in collaboration with the leadership of the National Assembly, of attempting to impose a one-party system, describing the alleged plot as a form of “political genocide” against Nigerians.

According to Frank, the February 2027 general elections are facing serious danger, stressing that unresolved developments could plunge the country into widespread disorder and possible anarchy.

He alleged that the ruling party, alongside what he described as a compromised Senate leadership, has already begun putting structures in place to manipulate and rig the upcoming polls.

Frank also advised President Trump and U.S. lawmakers to be cautious in their dealings with the Nigerian government, warning against actions that could be interpreted as endorsing illegality and repression.

He noted that uncritical international support could legitimise alleged wrongdoing, adding that timely U.S. intervention would help safeguard democracy and stability in West Africa’s most populous nation.

His comments come amid ongoing controversy following the Senate’s recent passage of the Electoral Act amendment, particularly regarding provisions on the electronic transmission of election results.
