INEC Debunks Fake Registration Deadline Circulating Online

The Independent National Electoral Commission has dismissed circulating online graphics falsely claiming that it set March 26 as the deadline for government officials to resign if they intend to run for election.

In a statement on Friday posted via the commission official x handle, INEC emphasized that the information did not originate from the Commission and described the graphics as misleading and unverified.

The Commission urged members of the public, media organizations, and political stakeholders to disregard the circulating message entirely.

INEC reiterated that all official announcements are communicated exclusively through its verified channels, including

The official website: inecnigeria.org, Verified social media platforms, and Official press releases.

Citizens are encouraged to confirm election-related information through these channels and avoid sharing unverified content that could cause confusion.

The Commission reaffirmed its commitment to providing accurate, timely, and transparent information to the public.
