CITIZENS COMPASS— The Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), yesterday, said that its Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, is not preparing to resign from office.
INEC urged members of the public to dismiss resignation reports by Amupitan.
INEC’s submission followed some social media reports stating that Amupitan was planning to resign his appointment.
The commission made the clarification in a statement posted on its official X account, urging Nigerians to disregard the claim and refrain from sharing unverified information.
According to INEC: The attention of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been drawn to a misleading image circulating on social media alleging that the INEC Chairman is set to resign.
The claim is FALSE, FABRICATED AND MISLEADING.
Members of the public are urged to disregard the fabricated report, refrain from sharing unverified information and rely solely on INEC’s official communication channels for authentic information.
Stop the spread of fake news.
The statement was accompanied with Amupitan’s photograph with the inscription: “Breaking! INEC Chairman set to resign amidst mounting pressure following recent attacks home and abroad.”
