Businessman Jubril Dotun Sanusi urged Nigerian election officials to protect the integrity of the 2027 vote while directing JDS Support Groups to campaign for All Progressives Congress candidates.
Sanusi asked Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to make the process transparent, credible and inclusive. He also called on security agencies to protect voters and act professionally before, during and after the election.
An available copy of the statement carries a “Media Team” sign-off. It says Sanusi directed JDS Support Groups to prioritize voter registration and collection of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), then canvass door to door.
The campaign was to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election, Senator Sharafadeen Alli’s bid for the Oyo State governorship and other APC candidates. “Get your PVC, engage your communities,” Sanusi said in the statement.
The statement framed registration, card collection and participation as steps to convert political support into votes. It did not provide evidence about the size of Sanusi’s following.
INEC’s current calendar sets the presidential and National Assembly elections for Jan. 16, 2027, and the governorship and State House of Assembly elections for Feb. 6, 2027. EconoTimes previously covered INEC’s 2027 election calendar.
