A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, has warned the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Joash Amupitan, that Nigerians will not tolerate any “glitch” in the electoral system.
George made the statement during an appearance on Monday on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television, as the country gears up for the 2027 general elections.
The elder statesman urged the new INEC boss to avoid mistakes similar to those observed in the 2023 elections, stressing that the credibility of the electoral process must be safeguarded.

“Remember the last election too, when Buhari bought the necessary tools. What did we do? They said there was a glitch. So let’s reverse back. Mr. Amupitan, there should be no glitch in this system,” George said.
His comments reflect growing scrutiny of INEC’s preparedness ahead of Nigeria’s next general elections, highlighting the demand for transparency, efficiency, and accountability in the conduct of the vote.
