EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has denied reports that a property that was attacked in Bauchi State belongs to its Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu.

The statement also noted that the rumours were part of a desperate smear campaign by mischief makers and urged the public to disregard them.

The statement was in response to a video circulating on social media, which showed some youths attacking a property purported to belong to the INEC Chairman. The attack had caused anxiety among Nigerians, with many expressing concerns about the safety of INEC officials and their families.

Meanwhile, INEC has come under fire from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for allegedly giving instructions that could hinder the process of issuing Certified True Copies (CTC) of the EC8A form. The EC8A form contains the results of the presidential election conducted in 2019.

INEC Denies Damage On Property Belonging To Mahmood Yakubu

Charles Aniagwu, the spokesperson for the PDP Presidential Campaign Committee, made this claim at a news conference held in Asaba, Delta State, on Friday. Aniagwu alleged that the INEC headquarters had instructed the Resident Electoral Commissioners (REC) in the states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to ensure comparison with its Result Viewing Portal (IRev) data before issuing the CTC for the EC8A form.

The PDP spokesperson criticized INEC for the alleged instruction, describing it as a deliberate attempt to frustrate the efforts of the party to obtain the CTC. He accused INEC of bias, claiming that the commission was working in cahoots with the ruling party to subvert the will of the people.

FURTHER READING:

The PDP had approached the courts to demand the CTC of the EC8A form, alleging that the results declared by INEC were manipulated to favour the All Progressives Congress (APC). However, the party has accused INEC of foot-dragging, noting that the commission has failed to comply with the court order to release the CTC.
