    The page said the 2023 state figures were INEC's own. They come from Stears, a secondary dataset whose rows add up to INEC's national totals. Corrected.

    The PDP's 2023 spending breakdown now states the ₦2.63bn its audited report does not itemise, and the ₦7.93bn total shows its own quoted passage.

    Query: the PDP's 2023 personnel figure. Checked against the Ripples Nigeria report the figure comes from, which prints “N166.5 million for personnel costs”. No change.

  4. 9 Oct 2026 · /polls · Reader review

    Poll method labels now say exactly what each pollster published: “Random sampling with quotas” (Africa Polling Institute), “Random sampling claimed; details missing” (EBDA). Shares that do not reach 100% state the remainder.

    Added a note explaining why reported totals of National Assembly candidates (4,408) differ from OpenPolls' count of INEC's published lists (1,303 Senate, 3,560 House).

    Cards said “Full tracking” beside “Monitoring not started”. They now show the number of reviewed records, or “Tracking scheduled” where none exist yet.

    One rule now applies to every promise status. The commitment on tax credits for international brands moved from “No record found” to “Law passed or signed” (a general tax credit in the Nigeria Tax Act 2025 covers it, with a note); “Programme launched” was renamed “Launched or under way”.

  8. 9 Oct 2026 · /violence · Reader review

    Figures printed by a source as a minimum (“over 20”) are now shown as 20+.

    Figures quoted from one shared passage were wrongly treated as duplicates and hidden; restored in every election year.

  10. 7 Oct 2026 · /manifestos/2023/apc · Found by OpenPolls

    Twelve promise statuses lowered on review where the evidence was thin (for example a launch reported only by one small outlet); the reason is shown on each.
