INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu
The Independent National Electoral Commission has insisted that it is not considering postponing the 2023 general elections.
The electoral body took to its social media platforms to debunk a publication it said was fake news, claiming that INEC might postpone the forthcoming elections by one or two weeks.
Telling Nigerians to disregard the fake publication, INEC said the 2023 elections will hold as scheduled.
“Our attention has been drawn to a fake report circulating on the social media with the title: ‘INEC May Postpone Feb 25 Election by a week or two’
“The Commission will not and is not contemplating postponing the 2023 General Election. Nigerians should disregard it.”
The electoral body has overtime maintained that despite the challenges facing both the commission and the country, the elections will hold as planned.
