The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has refuted claims made by a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Bode George, that Femi Odubiyi, a former Commissioner in Lagos State, was appointed as its head of the Information and Communications Technology department.
In a statement, Festus Okoye, National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, dismissed the claim as false and a purveyor of fake news.
He stated that the name “Femi Odubiyi” does not exist in INEC’s ICT Department in Abuja or any state office of the Commission.
INEC further clarified that its ICT staff are career officers of the Commission and have never held any political appointment in any state of the Federation.
