In a statement signed by its Project Coordinator, Hon. Muttaka Ahmed Ibrahim, the group said the successful conduct of the Ekiti State Governorship Election and the National Assembly and State Assembly by-elections held on June 20, 2026, reflected the administration’s dedication to credible elections and democratic consolidation.

The elections were conducted in the Ekiti State governorship poll, Nasarawa North Senatorial District in Nasarawa State, Ondo South Senatorial District in Ondo State, Enugu North Senatorial District in Enugu State, Rivers South East Senatorial District in Rivers State, Dawakin Kudu/Warawa Federal Constituency in Kano State, and Zuru State Constituency in Kebbi State.

According to the group, the elections demonstrated the Federal Government’s commitment to ensuring the independence of democratic institutions under the Renewed Hope Agenda.

The Arewa Revival Project also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for organizing what it described as peaceful, transparent, credible, and professionally conducted elections across the affected states and constituencies.

It noted that the conduct of the polls had further strengthened public confidence in Nigeria’s electoral process and reaffirmed the capacity of democratic institutions to deliver outcomes that reflect the will of the people.

The group specifically highlighted the peaceful conduct and broad acceptance of the Ekiti and Benue by-elections, describing them as a practical response to critics who had questioned the commission’s ability to conduct credible elections.

“Rather than responding to allegations with words, INEC has demonstrated through its actions that professionalism, transparency, and strict adherence to the Electoral Act remain the foundation of its operations,” the statement said.

The organization also applauded Senate President Godswill Obot Akpabio for his leadership of the National Assembly, citing his role in promoting legislative oversight, institutional stability, and democratic governance.

It said Akpabio’s support for reforms aimed at strengthening democratic institutions had contributed significantly to Nigeria’s democratic development.

The group further commended electoral officials, security agencies, election observers, political parties, civil society organizations, and members of the media for their roles in ensuring the credibility and peaceful conduct of the elections.

While expressing satisfaction with the conduct of the polls, the Arewa Revival Project urged INEC to sustain the momentum by strengthening transparency, embracing technological innovations, expanding voter education, and ensuring future elections meet both national and international best practices.

Reaffirming its support for the Tinubu administration, the group also lauded the collaboration between the Executive and the National Assembly under the leadership of Senate President Akpabio, saying their commitment to institutional reforms and national development continues to inspire confidence in Nigeria’s democratic future.

The organization concluded that the successful conduct of the elections represents another milestone in Nigeria’s democratic journey and demonstrates that credible elections are achievable when institutions are allowed to perform their constitutional responsibilities with independence, integrity, accountability, and patriotism.

Speaking on the occasion of Democracy Day, Hon. Muttaka Ahmed Ibrahim,
Coordinator, Arewa Revival Project welcomed the Special Joint Sitting of the National Assembly, where President Tinubu conferred national honours on distinguished legislators. He said the gesture highlighted a renewed commitment to responsible governance and recognized lawmakers who have contributed to the nation’s progress.

Akpabio was particularly praised for his role in ensuring legislative stability and policy alignment with the executive’s national development agenda.

The group also raised concerns about alleged plots by political saboteurs to undermine the government through planned protests and disinformation. They warned that any attempts to destabilize the country or discredit public officials would be resisted.

According to them, the reform agenda enjoys the overwhelming support of Nigerians and cannot be derailed by political theatrics or foreign-sponsored manipulation.
