Aisha Yesufu, an activist, has spoken out against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) after it made a statement about a fake X account that was supposedly linked to its chairman, Joash Amupitan.
Yesufu responded on her verified X account on Tuesday, saying that this makes her worried about the credibility of the electoral body before future elections.
“This more than anything shows that Joash Amupitan’s INEC can’t be trusted to run a fair, free, and credible election.” “Amupitan has made himself a tool to be used by this desperate need to deny something that is so obvious,” she wrote.
Reports say that her comments come at a time when there is still a lot of public debate over INEC’s clarification about the fake social media account that was supposedly linked to its chairman.
Remember that INEC said on Monday that a fake X account was used in a planned effort to frame Amupitan after a forensic investigation found no link between him and the viral posts that were attributed to his name.
The commission said that the investigation, which was done with the help of independent cybersecurity experts, found that the account @joashamupitan and the post “Victory is sure” were both made up of digital manipulation and impersonation.
