INEC not contemplating election postponement

The Independent National Electoral Commission has insisted that it was not considering postponing the 2023 general elections coming later this month and early March.

The body took made this known on its social media platforms to debunk a publication it said was fake news, claiming that INEC might postpone the forthcoming elections by one or two weeks.

INEC, therefore, tells Nigerians to disregard the fake publication and insisted that the 2023 elections will hold as scheduled.

INEC said: “Our attention has been drawn to a fake report circulating on the social media with the title: ‘INEC May Postpone Feb 25 Election by a week or two’

“The Commission will not and is not contemplating postponing the 2023 General Election. Nigerians should disregard it.”

INEC has consistently maintained that despite the challenges facing both the commission and the country, the elections will hold as planned.
