• Naijanews • Politics
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has addressed and dismissed claims that it copied a statement from Dada Olusegun, an aide to President Bola Tinubu. INEC described the report as false and misleading, asserting that the statement was issued to clarify allegations against the commission. The statement was released on April 10, 2026, by INEC's chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, through his media office. INEC warned that the claims were untrue and cautioned the public about fake accounts misusing its name. The commission explained that the version of the statement circulating outside its official platform was shared without its involvement and was not coordinated by INEC. It emphasized the importance of relying on verified information from official channels, especially as it faces public scrutiny in preparation for the upcoming 2027 general elections.
