INEC Warns Against Fake Announcement on Governorship Candidates
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has issued a warning to Nigerians about a fake announcement circulating online concerning governorship candidates in six states: Zamfara, Gombe, Delta, Plateau, Yobe, and Kano. INEC clarified that this publication did not originate from the commission and described it as fraudulent.
In a public notice released via its 𝕏 handle, INEC urged the public to disregard the misleading information and avoid sharing it. The commission also dismissed claims of a special announcement regarding the governorship candidates in the mentioned states.
INEC advised citizens to verify electoral information through its official communication channels, including its website at inecnigeria.org, its news portal at inecnews.com, and its verified social media accounts. The official social media handles include INEC Nigeria on Facebook and @inecnigeria on 𝕏, formerly Twitter, and Instagram.
INEC emphasized the importance of vigilance in confirming election-related information to prevent being misled by fake announcements.
