Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC), has not been the subject of an investigation, according to reports from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
INEC’s National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, issued a statement on Saturday stating that “a press release allegedly issued by the Commission has been trending online since yesterday Friday, 11th November 2022.”

“It claims that the Commission has commenced investigation into a case of criminal forfeiture against one of the presidential candidates in the forthcoming General Election and is liaising with a Court in the United States of America in pursuit of same to determine a possible violation of our guidelines or the Electoral Act 2022.
“We wish to state categorically that the said press release did not emanate from the Commission nor is it pursuing the purported course of action. It is the handiwork of mischief makers and utterly fake.”
“The Commission’s press releases are submitted to the INEC Press Corps portal and distributed simultaneously through our website and official social media handles.” The public is urged to disregard the press release,” it continued.
