25th September 2018

A former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Maurice Iwu, has dismissed as false and mischievous reports quoting him as rebuking INEC for declaring Saturday’s Osun governorship election inconclusive.

Iwu said he neither spoke to any journalist nor issued a statement on the election.

In a statement, yesterday, Iwu said he was shocked that people could spread falsehood using his name.

“Please this is fake news. I have never issued any statement on electoral process and INEC since 2010. This is reckless journalism.”

The former INEC boss lamented that thousands of Nigerians may have been misled by the report and added that it was shocking that some people churn out lies and fake reports and wondered how he could have issued a statement on the Osun election and only one online news portal would have access to it.

But one has to give it to the PDP propaganda and fake news machinery though. They are damned good and efficient! They are so quick to pen, spread, and attribute fake news to popular personalities in order to get attention and garner public sympathy. E.g Maurice Iwu, Adeboye's son, e.t.c.

They've been bursting their lies. Is this how to win elections? Every sane person knows that the election was inconclusive.

The rerun would be conducted on Thursday and APC would be declared the winner. They should be getting ready to head to court as usual.

Yeh na dem way.
That was how they quoted obj with an unverified tweeter handle talking rubbish about the osun polls.

But its not their fault.
If not for the stupidity of Aregbesola who refused to pay osun workers salary, PDP won't be making noise

How will APC win dirty with just a few votes to contest for if they couldn't win dirty with the whole log

Mind you, PDP still has a point from INEC itting to reducing their votes.
