A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Ekene Enefe has come out to say that some political parties brought in hackers from Russia and Israel to manipulate the outcome of the 2023 elections.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, political parties who lost out on the seat of the presidency had decided to cling on the electronic transmission of results as a basis for kicking against the result of the election because they already knew they were losing.

He added that none of the hacking games by the opposition succeeded, but it stopped INEC from transmitting results via its server.

His words, “Each party has a situation room, they’ve known the results. They knew they were losing and they wanted to cling on something; and what they want to cling on is the transmission of the results to the portal.”

“But people do not know how many times the Independent National Electoral Commission server was hacked and attacked. And this was done by political parties that brought in Russian and Israeli hackers (I’m just giving you an intelligence report that I’m privileged to) to hack into INEC server and to transmit the end result and create chaos.”

“None of them succeeded and that is why the election, to the best of my knowledge, was not transmitted on INEC server.”
