INEC Rejects Fake 2027 Governorship Candidates List
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has issued a warning to Nigerians regarding a fake publication that falsely claims to present a list of governorship candidates for the 2027 elections in six states: Zamfara, Gombe, Delta, Plateau, Yobe, and Kano. INEC stated that the document did not originate from the Commission and labeled it as “fraudulent.” In a post on its X handle, INEC urged the public to ignore the misleading publication and refrain from sharing it.
The Commission clarified that any claims suggesting it had made a special announcement about governorship candidates in these states are false. INEC advised Nigerians to verify electoral information through its official communication platforms, including its website and verified social media accounts.
This warning follows the recent release of the final list of candidates for the 2027 governorship elections, which has caused controversy due to the omission of some candidates' names.
