The Editor Nigeria reports that the Presidential and National Assembly elections are fixed for February 25, while the Governorship and State assemblies polls is scheduled for March 11.
The electoral body dismissed reports of shifting the election in a tweet on Monday night it titled ‘Fake News Alert’.
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.”
Recall that another report had emerged earlier quoting the INEC chairman as saying the commission was affected by the cash shortage and that a postponement of the election would be in the best interest of Nigerians.
But in a swift reaction, the Chief Press Secretary to Yakubu, Rotimi Oyekanmi, described the claims as false, saying: “It is not true. INEC will not, and is not even contemplating postponing the 2023 general election. To be sure, the presidential and national assembly election will take place on 25th February, while the governorship/state assembly election will hold on 11th March 2023.”
