In a recent article for Punch Nigeria titled Passwords, pixels and panic, the author makes it clear that they are not affiliated with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and are not acting on behalf of any group that profits from panic.
First, a caveat that must not be mistaken for cowardice: I do not work for INEC. I do not hold a brief for the merchants of panic who profit from every screenshot, nor do I hold a brief for a commission that asks for trust on credit and without evidence.
The statement underscores that the writer is distancing themselves from INEC and from any entities that might benefit from spreading anxiety or misinformation.
INEC is Nigeria’s electoral body, responsible for organising and overseeing national elections.
The article is part of a broader conversation about election-related concerns and the importance of clear, evidence‑based communication in Nigeria.
