The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has issued a statement denying rumors that a property in Bauchi State belongs to its Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu.
In the statement released on Saturday and signed by Yakubu’s Chief Press Secretary, Rotimi Oyekanmi, INEC emphasized that “The property being purportedly attacked by some youths in a video clip circulating on social media does not belong to the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu.”
Oyekanmi further reiterated that “The INEC Chairman does not own the property in question in either Bauchi or anywhere else around the world.”
Oyekanmi dismissed the rumors as part of a smear campaign against Yakubu and urged the public to disregard the unfounded narrative.
He stated that “This narrative is indeed the latest in the series of desperate smear campaign efforts by mischief makers. The public should disregard it.”
Oyekanmi’s statement clarified that the property being attacked in the video does not belong to Yakubu, either in Bauchi or any other location in the world.
