The Independent National Electoral Commission INEC has denied a letter in circulation saying the Commission’s secretary’s signature was doctored.
This was contained in a letter signed by Mrs. Victoria Eta-Messi
Director, Voter Education and Publicity stating that:
“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.
“Consequently, the general public, political parties and the media are strongly
advised to disregard the contents of the said correspondence in its entirety, as it
is fake.
“The Commission views this act of forgery and the circulation of false documents as a serious electoral offence and a deliberate attempt to mislead the public.
“INEC wishes to use this medium to appeal to persons engaging in such futile, criminal, and disruptive activities to desist forthwith in the interest of electoral
integrity and peace.
“Meanwhile, the Commission is collaborating with security agencies to investigate
this matter and ensure the perpetrators are apprehended and prosecuted according to the law.
