A claim made by Twitter user Austin Nwabufo that the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Mahmood Yakubu, admitted to declaring blurred results in court is false, according to a fact-checking report by Dubawa.
Nwabufo had claimed that Prof. Yakubu testified in court and admitted to declaring blurred results in thousands of polling units, with 20,000 results missing.
Nwabufo, who has over 22, 000 followers, wrote on his handle:
“Hot News; INEC chairman testifies in Court admitted declaring blurred results in 18088, with additional 20,000 results which he Yakub Mahmoud suspected that the results will likely belong to Tinubu and APC, so he awarded all the votes to Tinubu, end of discussion, you see that INEC Chairman is a CRIMINAL.
“The 20, 000 results he claimed that were missing are the 20,000 results Sheet which Buhari demanded for it for safe keeping and never returned it, meaning that Buhari is a fantastic Criminal, a tremendous ROGUE, a NIGER Republic pickpocket.”
However, Dubawa’s report states that INEC Chairman was not present at the tribunal on June 15, but sent a representative who only tendered certified true copies of the presidential IReV polling units results.
The matter of “blurred results” only came up when the Labour Party submitted blurred results analyzed from the presidential IReV results from 18,088 polling units, which the party wanted the court to admit as evidence.
