President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday defended the neutrality of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), insisting the electoral body has not intimidated any political party, as he received members of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) at the State House in Abuja.

Addressing concerns about governance, security and the political climate ahead of the 2027 general election, Tinubu said his administration remains focused on addressing the challenges it inherited rather than avoiding them.
The president also dismissed allegations of bias against INEC, maintaining that the electoral commission has remained impartial in carrying out its constitutional responsibilities.
“If political opponents are crying wolves, maybe they are afraid of their own shadow and uncertainty in the company they keep,” the president added.
