The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has dismissed reports circulating on social media claiming that its Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, SAN, is set to resign, describing the allegation as false, fabricated and misleading.
The commission debunked the report in a statement published on its verified X handle on Saturday, urging members of the public to disregard the purported resignation news.
INEC said the circulating image alleging that Amupitan was preparing to step down was fabricated and did not reflect any official position of the commission.
It cautioned the public against spreading unverified information, stressing the need to rely exclusively on its official communication channels for accurate and authentic updates.
“Stop the spread of fake news,” the commission urged.
