Pressure is mounting on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to explain a prolonged blackout of its Result Viewing Portal (IREV), which was reportedly restored within 24 hours following a Freedom of Information (FOI) request.
While the portal’s return has been welcomed, critics insist that mere restoration without accountability is unacceptable, demanding clarity on why the platform was inaccessible for over a month.
They argue that INEC’s silence risks eroding public trust, undermining transparency, and casting doubt on the integrity of election data management.
Stakeholders are now calling for full disclosure, stressing that Nigerians deserve clear answers—not silence—on issues affecting the credibility of the electoral process.
