Just In: Presidency Addresses Reports Of INEC Chairman Sacking

The presidency has dismissed rumours that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the replacement of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmood Yakubu.

In a post on his 𝕏 handle on Monday afternoon, the Senior Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Digital Media and New Media, O’tega Ogra, described it as ‘fake news.’

He wrote: “Disregard any fake news making the rounds about the replacement of the INEC Chairman.

“Any such announcement will come from the SGF’s office or the any other official source.”
