Man raises concern after spotting ‘Renewed Hope’ branding inside INEC office in Rivers
A Nigerian man has sparked reactions online after alleging the presence of campaign-related branding linked to President Bola Tinubu inside an office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Rivers State.
In a video circulating on social media, the man questioned the neutrality of the electoral body after reportedly sighting a vehicle bearing the “Renewed Hope” slogan, which is associated with Tinubu, parked within the premises.
He expressed concern that no visible representation of other political parties was present in the same environment.
“This is inside INEC in Rivers state and I’m seeing Renewed Hope. That is Renewed Hope motor parked inside INEC o. ADC own no dey, PDP own no dey, only Tinubu own dey parked inside INEC. What is it telling you?” he said.
The development has triggered debate among Nigerians, with some raising concerns about the perception of bias within institutions expected to remain independent, while others called for verification of the claims and context surrounding the incident.
