INEC Disowns Fake Poster Claiming It Reaffirmed David Mark-Led ADC Leadership

Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) disowned a social media poster claiming it had reaffirmed the African Democratic Congress (ADC) leadership led by Senator David Mark. In a statement on Friday, the commission said the poster and its accompanying text did not originate from INEC and that it had issued no such reaffirmation. INEC condemned the unauthorised use of its logo and the image of National Commissioner Mohammed Haruna, and urged the public to rely only on its official channels. The clarification follows a Federal High Court judgment nullifying Mark’s ADC leadership, raising questions about the validity of its decisions, including its presidential primary process.
