“Someone please ask Fashola how he got access to this server that has the election result data,” reads the tweet published on February 27, 2023.
It suggested that the photo was evidence that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) “rigged the election before it started”. Nigeria held presidential polls on February 25, 2023.

The image shows Fashola working on a laptop computer. Beside him is a large computer screen with the words “2023 presidential election result” written across it. The screen also features columns showing the collated ballot results for Adamawa and Kaduna states for the leading political parties.
Fashola ran the mobilisation for the campaign for the APC’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
Tinbu was declared winner of the keenly contested election, ahead of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate Atiku Abubakar and a surprise third challenger, the Labour Party's Peter Obi.
