Opposition’s Plan to Hack INEC Portal Frustrated After Heavy Investment – Oshiomhole
By Erewunmi Peace
Former Edo State governor and senator, Adams Oshiomhole, has claimed that some political opponents invested money in an attempt to hack the portal of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Speaking at a political event in Edo State, Oshiomhole alleged that the plan to manipulate the commission’s system had been blocked, though he did not provide further details on who was involved.
Oshiomhole made the statement while addressing supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC), emphasizing the need for vigilance in protecting the integrity of elections.
It is important to note that the claim has not been independently verified, and INEC has not publicly confirmed any attempted hack or cyberattack.
Political analysts have described such statements as common during heated campaigns and caution that they should be treated as allegations until confirmed by official investigations.
The former governor’s comments come amid ongoing political activity and party mobilization in Edo State, as various stakeholders prepare for upcoming elections.
