LunagisthubThe Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is allegedly planning to manipulate the 2027 general elections in favor of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Here are some keys
Alleged Rigging Strategies:
-Dual Result Sheets: INEC is reportedly producing duplicate original EC8 result forms, allowing predetermined results to be imposed in targeted polling units.
– IReV Manipulation:Pre-written results are allegedly being uploaded to the INEC Results Viewing Portal (IReV), while genuine results are deleted or hidden from public view.
Voter Registration Compromise:INEC’s Operations Department is accused of secretly providing the APC with sensitive information about newly created polling units, particularly those with low voter registration.
-Compromised Recruitment:INEC plans to recruit politically aligned ad-hoc staff and collation officers for the 2027 elections.
– Key Players:
– Abdulrazak Tukur Yusuf:INEC’s Director of Operations since 2023, who is allegedly being groomed to succeed Professor Mahmood Yakubu and execute the rigging plan.
– Professor Mahmood Yakubu:The outgoing INEC Chairman, accused of coordinating the scheme.
– The alleged rigging plan could undermine the credibility of the 2027 general elections.
– The manipulation of INEC’s technological platforms could allow electoral fraud.
– The scheme may involve compromising the independence of INEC and eroding confidence in the electoral process.
