INEC Refutes Fake Claim on ADC Leadership and Atiku

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has denied issuing any statement supporting the leadership of David Mark in the African Democratic Congress (ADC). This denial follows a Federal High Court ruling in Abuja that nullified Mark's leadership and invalidated all actions taken under it, including the nomination of Atiku Abubakar as the ADC's presidential candidate for the 2027 election.

INEC clarified that a poster circulating on social media claiming to reaffirm Mark's leadership is fake and did not originate from the commission. The electoral body emphasized that the poster misused its logo and the image of National Commissioner Mohammed Haruna without permission.

INEC urged the public to disregard the false publication and to verify information through its official channels. The ADC is currently embroiled in an internal leadership dispute, which has attracted regulatory and judicial scrutiny.
