This issue goes beyond Emeka Ike as an individual. Even if an apology is offered, it is not just about him, it is a broader political and national concern. Any voter can reasonably ask, if this is what has happened in this case, how secure is our personal data in the hands of INEC? The real issue is the protection of INEC’s database and the integrity of the system safeguarding sensitive voter information. INEC must do more to demonstrate that this data is secure, and where individuals are found guilty of wrongdoing, they should be properly investigated and prosecuted to serve as a deterrent and send a clear message to anyone who may attempt to compromise such information.
