The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said defeated Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in the 2019 election, Atiku Abubakar, actually “invented” results of the recent elections as proof for his ongoing case at the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal.
INEC distanced itself from Atiku’s purportedly results sheet seen on a website, factsdontlie.com and the website was not an INEC site.
INEC said, “The 1st Respondent does not share information with such an unclassified entity and any information purportedly derived therefrom which does not accord with the result as declared by the 1st Respondent is not authentic but rather was invented for the purpose of this case.”
INEC revealed that the results were invented just for the petition and that it “does not share information with such an unclassified entity and any information purportedly derived therefrom which does not accord with the result as declared by INEC is not authentic but rather was invented for the purpose.”
INEC also denied knowledge of electronic transmission of results and it is unknown to the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended).
