INEC denies copying press statement from Tinubu's aide

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) denied allegations that it copied a press statement from Dada Olusegun, a Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu. INEC described the claims as "fake, misleading, and a misrepresentation of facts". The controversy arose after INEC reposted a statement addressing claims about its Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, and insisted that its communication was independently issued and not coordinated with any political actors.
