Jega and Baba-Ahmed support PRP presidential candidate Kola Abiola.

Published

Prof Attahiru Jega, former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, and Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum, have backed Peoples Redemption Party presidential candidate Kola Abiola to win the 2023 presidential election.
On Saturday, they enthusiastically supported the party’s ‘Manifesto Debate and Mobilisation Drive’ in Abuja.
In an interview  with our corresponden, tBaba-Ahmed stated that the forum would subject candidates from various political parties seeking the votes of the North to a rigorous interrogation process until the group was convinced about who had the ability to fix the country.
According to him, the northern elders made a terrible mistake in 2015 when they charged the people to hand over their bloc votes to President Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) without first requesting his blueprint.
The development comes just five days after Kola, the son of the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 election, MKO Abiola, promised Nigerians that if elected, he would not bring the baggage of previous administrations and recycled politicians.

Forensic Report Exposes Viral Allegation As INEC Boss Amupitan Cleared.

Published

on

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has reaffirmed its defence of its Chairman, Joash Amupitan, stating that a forensic investigation has established that social media posts attributed to him were fabricated.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In a statement issued on Monday by his Chief Press Secretary, Adedayo Oketola, the commission maintained that Amupitan does not own or operate any social media account, despite the circulation of alleged posts linked to him.

According to INEC, both internal checks and independent forensic analysis confirmed that the Chairman has no presence on X (formerly Twitter) or any other social media platform.

The statement explained that the findings of the investigation revealed multiple inconsistencies, including timestamp irregularities, which showed that a viral post attributed to Amupitan was published before the original message it was supposedly responding to—an occurrence described as technically impossible.

INEC also dismissed claims attempting to link the account to the Chairman through email addresses, phone numbers, or financial records, noting that verification processes on the platform failed to establish any connection.

The commission further clarified that the appearance of a phone number in records such as BVN or financial platforms does not serve as proof of ownership of any social media account.

It described the situation as a coordinated disinformation effort, revealing that several fake accounts across different platforms were created using the Chairman’s identity.

INEC added that the account at the centre of the controversy was later renamed, made private, and labelled as a parody account shortly after the issue gained public attention.

The commission stated that the findings have been forwarded to relevant security agencies for further investigation and urged members of the public to avoid sharing or engaging with the disputed content.
