‘INEC Already Sold Out To Tinubu, APC’ – Nigerians Raise Alarm Over Wike Aide’s Access To INEC Admin Page

Nigerians have expressed worry on social media over Lere Olayinka, Spokesman to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, said to have access to an administrative portal associated with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

This was gathered to be coming after Olayinka shared screenshots questioning Nollywood actor cum politician, Emeka Ike’s transfer of voter registration.

Olayinka posted screenshots on 𝕏 showing what seemed to be an INEC administrative dashboard with details about a voter transfer application and timestamps connected to the registration process.

The social media posting drew online criticism, with many Nigerians questioning how a political aide gained access to a restricted electoral database.

Critics also said if the screenshots were from an official INEC system, the incident could raise issues of data privacy, security of voter information and the possibility of unauthorized access to electoral records.

Some social media users claimed that INEC has been compromised while others plead with the electoral body to explain the authorization to access such information.“THE INEC BACKEND SERVER IS HACKED BY WIKE’S MEN,” RealQueenBee__ tweeted. How did Lere get into the INEC Backend Admin Centre? Who gave out this information, as it is not open to the public? Could there be an insider who is compromising the INEC system and sharing it with Wike’s Men? Are the Opposition political parties asking these questions and looking for answers? I hope so. So many questions than answers, we’ll dig into this.Big_EL10 wrote: “@inecnigeria how Lere get access to INEC web admin?

How did a voter’s personal information submitted through your portal end up in public space? The web address indicates this is an admin page so your staff is involved in this. “So our info is not safe with you guys anymore?”“If the ruling party can sit in their house, log into INEC’s backend and know exactly who is transferring their PVC, when they applied and where they are moving to…,” CollinzTWEET said.
