The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has dismissed as
fake a document circulating on social media, claiming to be an official public notice
Listing the names of All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates for the Federal House of Representatives in Lagos State ahead of the 2027 general election.
The Commission clarified this in a statement posted on its social media accounts on Monday.
INEC said the purported notice did not originate from the Commission and described it as misleading and fraudulent.
According to the Commission, it has neither authorized nor published
any such notice and urged members of the public not to rely on the
document.
INEC further stated that the signature appearing on the circulated
notice does not belong to its Secretary, stressing that the publication
was fabricated.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the Commission has not authorized or
published any such notice. The purported publication does not originate
from any official INEC platform or process,” the statement said.
The Commission advised political parties, stakeholders, the media, and
the public to disregard the document entirely and rely only on
information released through its official communication channels.
INEC reaffirmed its commitment to providing timely, accurate, and credible information on all electoral activities.
