The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has disowned a document indicating that it had concluded plans to shift the date for the presidential and national assembly elections from February 25 to March 4.
According to the letter dated Feb. 13 had stated that INEC decided to shift the date for the election because of the current scarcity of cash in the country as a result of the new Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) policy limiting daily withdrawal and availability of the newly redesigned N200, N500 and N1000 notes.
But in response, the INEC through its social media page , debunked the report of it’s planned postponement of the general elections.
The post reads:”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”
