JUST IN: INEC ‘Speaks On’ Removing South-East, South-South Staff From Lagos Office

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has dismissed a fake tweet claiming that the Commission has removed all Igbo and South-South staff from sensitive election duties in Lagos State ahead of the March 18 elections.

The report was labeled false and misleading by the Commission.

In a statement made available to journalists in Abuja on Wednesday, Rotimi Oyekanmi, the chief press secretary to INEC chairman, urged the media to dismiss such allegations.

A social media influencer, Omotayo Williams in a tweet had wrote: “#JUSTIN: The @inecnigeria office in Lagos has removed all Igbo and South-South staff in the State from sensitive election duties for the March 18th election.

“They did not give any reason, but it was said that the INEC leadership which takes directives from the Tinubu political group said they do not trust the Igbo/SS staff to do as they will want them to do at the election.”

Williams noted that INEC was supposed to be a neutral federal agency, claiming that it has, however, been badly compromised beyond recognition.

But, Oyekanmi urged Nigerians to ignore Williams’ claims.
