The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has revealed that the purported correspondence on resolution of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) National Working Committee (NWC ) meeting and the postponement of Ekiti state congresses and governorship primary did not emanate from the commission.
To this end, the Commission said it was collaborating with security agencies to investigate this matter and ensure the perpetrators are apprehended and prosecuted according to the law.
Director, Voter Education and Publicity, Mrs. Victoria Eta-Messi in a statement issued Friday maintained that the said correspondence did not emanate from the office of the Secretary to the Commission, nor any official channel of INEC.
She noted that preliminary findings indicate that the signature of the Secretary to the Commission was forged by unscrupulous elements
Eta-Messi added: “The attention of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been drawn to a correspondence currently in circulation on various platforms, dated November 10, 2025, concerning the Resolution of the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) Meeting and postponement of the Ekiti State Congress/Governorship Primary, purported to have been issued and signed by the Secretary to the Commission.
“The Commission hereby states unequivocally that the said correspondence did not emanate from the office of the Secretary to the Commission, nor any official channel of INEC.
“Preliminary findings indicate that the signature of the Secretary to the Commission was forged by unscrupulous elements.”
The commission called on the general public, political parties and the media to disregard the contents of the said correspondence in its entirety, as it is fake.
The Commission said it viewed this act of forgery and the circulation of false documents as a serious electoral offence and a deliberate attempt to mislead the public.
It, therefore, appealed to persons engaging in such futile, criminal, and disruptive activities to desist forthwith in the interest of electoral integrity and peace.
