The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has dismissed a report circulating on social media claiming that its Chairman is planning to resign.
In a statement posted on its official X account on Saturday, the Commission described the report as false, fabricated and misleading.
INEC said it became aware of an image being shared online which claimed that the Chairman was preparing to step down from his position.
The electoral body urged Nigerians to ignore the report and stop sharing unverified information.
The Commission also advised members of the public to rely only on its official communication channels for accurate information about its activities.
INEC said it would continue to provide Nigerians with updates through its verified platforms and urged the public to verify suspicious reports before sharing them.
The development comes as the Commission prepares for the 2027 general elections and other off-cycle elections.
