INEC Refutes Fake Announcement on Governorship Candidates
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) issued a public notice denying the authenticity of a special announcement regarding governorship candidates in six states: Zamfara, Gombe, Delta, Plateau, Yobe, and Kano. The Commission described the circulating publication as fake and not originating from INEC.
INEC advised the public to disregard the misinformation and to rely on its official notices and verified communication channels for accurate electoral information. The Commission provided its website, social media handles, and a call center for inquiries.
This warning follows the recent publication of INEC's final lists of candidates for the February 6, 2027 governorship elections, which reportedly omitted candidates from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun and Gombe states, specifically Ladi Adebutu and Isa Pantami. INEC reiterated its commitment to keeping the public accurately informed and urged vigilance against fraudulent publications.
