VERDICT: Misleading

CLAIM: A claim alleged that the Kwara State Government erected Nigerian flags along the Government House–Yoruba Road corridor to prevent an opposition party from putting up campaign flyers.

VERIFICATION: Section 96, subsection 3, paragraph (a) of the Electoral Act of 2026, states in effect that

”Places designated for public offices shall not be used for political campaigns, rallies and processions”

The Government House in Ilorin, Kwara State is a public office hence falls under this provision of Law. Meaning, the claim that the state government put up the Nigerian flag to prevent the other party from putting up their campaign flyers is *false* because by law, campaign flyers cannot be put up in such an area as it is a public office.

VERDICT: Misleading

CLAIM: Recent claim states that INEC launched an official portal (https://cvr-inec-online-registration.earngo.pro/inec.html) where citizens can apply for or renew their Permanent Voter’s Card (PVCs) and collect grants.

VERIFICATION: The unfounded claim has been verified via INEC’s CVR portal [cvr.inecnigeria.org]. On this official website, there is no such thing as grants for existing or new registrants.

Our Youth Verification Ambassadors concluded their community engagements with a practical fact-checking awareness session in Itamerin, Ilorin, bringing the message to 40 young people.

Through relatable stories and a real election-related claim, participants explored how misinformation can affect voter turnout, fuel tension and undermine trust in democratic institutions.

They also learned practical ways to verify information using tools such as Google Lens, TinEye, InVID/WeVerify and the Wayback Machine, tools they can use directly from their phones.

The most encouraging part? Some participants acknowledged having previously shared unverified political content on WhatsApp and said they would now pause and apply the verification steps before sharing during future elections.

From Adangba, Sango, Oju-ekun to Masingba, Okekere, Agbaji, Babaoyo and Itamerin, our Ambassadors have taken the conversation from the training room to the people and the message remains simple:

Pause. Check. Verify. Share Responsibly.

At AYVDi, we continue to build communities that think before they share.

In Agbaji Quarters, Ode Alfa Nda, Ilorin, one of our Youth Verification Ambassadors, Aiyelabegan Fadheelat, took the campaign directly to the community, creating space for open conversations around misinformation, elections, and the responsibility that comes with sharing information.

The outreach went beyond simply telling people what to do. Through storytelling, real-life examples, and questions from participants, the session encouraged a stronger habit of questioning information, checking sources, and verifying claims before they reach others.

The engagement also included free blood pressure checks, connecting information awareness with community wellbeing.

Lanre takes campaign to Sango community

A message becomes powerful when people know what to do with it. At CodeCircle Tech Hub, Sango Community, Lanre Idris Mustapha took the conversation into a practical community session focused on identifying, questioning and verifying information.

For 40 participants, verification moved beyond theory as they worked with Google Lens, the BBYDI WhatsApp Fact-Check Bot and InVID to examine how misinformation can be detected before it spreads.

From the training room to the grassroots, the goal remains clear: pause before believing, verify before sharing, and choose informed action over assumption—especially as the 2027 elections draw closer.
