Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has denied that Femi Odubiyi was appointed as the head of ICT.
INEC made this disclaimer after a statement by Chief Olabode George was published, where he claimed that the commission had appointed Femi Odubiyi, a former Lagos commissioner who has affiliations with prominent politicians, as the Head of ICT at the Commission.
In a press release by Barr Festus Okoye, the Commission made the denial clear by stating, “To set the record straight, the name “Femi Odubiyi” does not even exist within our ICT Department at the INEC headquarters in Abuja or any State office of the commission. Our ICT staff are career officers of the Commission. None has held any political appointment in any State of the Federation.”
They then urged the public to ignore the allegations made in the story, dismissing it as fake news.
