‘What INEC cannot achieve does not exist.’ Adeyanju asks Yakubu to preserve. Kamala
Adeyanju’s most recent tweet reinforces his continuous criticism of Nigeria’s voting methods, employing comedy to highlight global perceptions of election reliability.
In an unusual twist in the US presidential race, Nigerian lawyer and outspoken critic of Nigeria’s electoral system, Deji Adeyanju, took to X (formerly Twitter) to sarcastically assert that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Nigeria could somehow “save” Democratic candidate Kamala Harris from her expected defeat to Republican rival Donald Trump.
Adeyanju’s message, which included an image of INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu and the commission’s emblem, stated, “INEC can still save Kamala. What INEC cannot do does not exist. They can turn off the server or edit the results on IREV.
This remark attempted to mock Nigeria’s handling of the 2023 presidential election, which was heavily criticised both domestically and globally for alleged rigging.
Several electoral observers, including the European Union, judged the Nigerian election tainted, with claims of prejudice against the ruling party.
Adeyanju, who is known for his critical attitude on INEC’s transparency, expressed doubts about the organization’s trustworthiness.
According to current US election forecasts, Trump leads with 266 electoral votes, only four short of the 270 required for victory, while Harris lags with 219 electoral votes. Adeyanju’s remarks echo claims made during Nigeria’s recent elections, implying an ironic ‘intervention’ by INEC to shift outcomes in Harris’ favor.
Adeyanju’s most recent tweet reinforces his continuous criticism of Nigeria’s voting methods, employing comedy to highlight global perceptions of election reliability.
