A former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega has denied reports claiming he said the 2023 polls were compromised.

Reports had it that the former INEC boss made the remark at a two-day retreat organised by the Senate in Ikot Ipene, Akwa Ibom State.

He was quoted as saying: “We have seen, in 2023 elections, the damaging effect of how people in the corridors of power get their client/partisan nominees appointed, without being thoroughly screened, and then they are influenced to compromise the integrity of elections.”

But Reacting to the report, Jega said in a terse statement by his Senior Research Assistant, Princess Hamman-Obels: “The attention of Prof. Attahiru Jega has been drawn to a misleading report published in a number of online newspapers quoting him to have commented that the 2023 elections were compromised.

“The report making the rounds is incorrect and not an accurate reflection of the presenter’s position.

“Professor Jega categorically denies making this particular comment about the 2023 polls.”
