Atiku Abubakar Demands INEC Accountability Over Voter Fraud

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, has called for the identification and prosecution of officials from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) who allegedly introduced artificial intelligence-generated photographs into the preliminary voter register. Following INEC's admission of irregularities in the voter registration database, Atiku threatened legal action against the commission if it fails to reveal the identities of the implicated officials and the companies involved in producing election materials for the 2027 general elections.

He described the situation as a serious breach of public trust and criticized INEC's internal safeguards. Atiku's statement, issued by Phrank Shaibu, the Director of Strategic Communication of the ADC Presidential Campaign Council, emphasized the need for an independent forensic audit of the voter register.

He insisted that INEC must preserve all records and not remove questionable entries without evidence. The allegations involve more than 20 million AI-generated images.
