Tinubu's Aide Denies Writing INEC Press Statement
An aide to President Bola Tinubu, Olusegun Dada, has publicly denied allegations that he authored a press statement for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) concerning controversies related to its chairman, Joash Amupitan. Dada characterized the reports as reckless and baseless, asserting that they unfairly suggested presidential influence over INEC's communications.
He clarified that he did not draft any press statement for INEC and emphasized that there is no author from the presidential media team involved in INEC's internal processes. The controversy arose after INEC released a statement on April 10, 2026, aimed at clarifying allegations against its chairman, which were deemed untrue.
Dada warned against the use of fake accounts that misrepresent INEC's name and urged the public to disregard misleading information.
