Lagos guber: INEC clears air on appointing APC apologist as ICT head
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has reacted to the report making the rounds that it has appointed a partisan politician to head its ICT department in Lagos ahead of the governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections on Saturday.
Chief Olabode George, a former deputy national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, had on Monday insisted that INEC boss, Prof. Mahmoud Yakubu, must remove the Commission’s Director of ICT, Mr. Femi Odubiyi, arguing that he is partisan.
The elder statesman said that INEC must explain to Nigerians how Odubiyi, a former commissioner for Science and Technology in Lagos State, became the Head of its ICT in the state.
But the Commission, in a statement signed by Festus Okoye, National Commissioner and Chairman Information and Voter Education Committee, said Bode George’s claim was far from the truth.
“To set the record straight, the name ‘Femi Odubiyi’ does not even exist within our ICT Department at the INEC headquarters in Abuja or any State office of the Commission,” the Commission said.
Okoye explained that INEC’s ICT staff were career officers and had never held any political appointment in any State.
He called on the general public to disregard the report
