Activist Aisha Yesufu has criticised the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, following its recent statement on a purportedly fabricated X account linked to its chairman, Joash Amupitan.
Reacting via her verified X account on Tuesday, Yesufu said
the development raises concerns about the credibility of the electoral body
ahead of future elections.
“This more than anything shows INEC under Joash Amupitan
cannot be trusted to conduct free, fair and credible election. By this
desperation to deny something that is so glaring, Amupitan has offered himself
as a tool to be used,” she wrote.
Her remarks come amid ongoing public debate over INEC’s
clarification regarding the alleged fake social media account attributed to its
chairman.
Recall that INEC had released a statement on Monday
detailing how a fabricated X account was used in a coordinated attempt to frame
Amupitan following a forensic investigation that it said found no link between
him and the viral posts attributed to his name.
The commission said the probe, conducted with the support of
independent cybersecurity experts established that the account @joashamupitan
and the controversial post, “Victory is sure,” were products of digital
manipulation and impersonation.
