The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Lagos State has read with great concern on the social media in respect of the removal of all Igbo's and South South staff in the state during the forthcoming governorship/House of Assembly election on the 18th March 2023.
The Head of Department Voter Education and Publicity Mrs Adenike Tadese signed this onbehalf of the Resident Electoral Commissioner said it was equally alleged that "Obidients in Lagos,Sanwo-Olu and Tinubu were on a call with INEC Rec,in Lagos State to finalise rigging plans for gubernatorial election".
It has become imperative to correct the erroneous accusation in some quarters and put the record straight that Adhoc staff (Collation Officers) engaged during the presidential/national assembly election on the 25th February, 2023 in Lagos State were held.
The forthcoming governorship election will only require the services of 427 collation officers because of the two elections involved.
It is pertinent to state unequivocally that members of staff that are igbo's were all returned to work as collation officers in the forthcoming governorship and House of Assembly election scheduled for 18th March 2023,while the SPO's maintained positions.
The Hon Resident Electoral Commissioner for Lagos State Mr Olusegun Agbaje Mfr,Mni did not at any point in time engage in any telephone conversation with the three candidates mentioned Obidients,Sanwo-Olu and Tinubu infact he does not have their telephone numbers. Whoever that has information concerning the day and time of the said Telephone conversation should not hesitate to make it public going from the above frivolous allegations.
The public is then advised to shun fake news information and disinformation and allow INEC in Lagos State to focus on the forthcoming election inorder to achieve the desired result.
