The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has debunked the reported release of the Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the 2027 General Election.
In a statement by Musa Olurode, the vommission’s Public Affairs Officer in Osun State, INEC described the report as false and misleading.
It srressed that it operates strictly within the provisions of the law.
According to it, Section 28(1) of the Electoral Act, 2022 provides that the Commission shall publish a Notice of Election not later than 360 days before the date appointed for a general election.
Therefore, it said that any timetable or schedule issued outside this statutory framework cannot emanate from INEC.
It assures Nigerians that the official Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the 2027 General Election will be released in due course, in full compliance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) and the Electoral Act, 2022.
When released, it will be communicated through the Commission’s established and verified channels, it added.
The Commission urges the public and the media to disregard the fake reports and always rely on information from INEC’s official platforms for accurate and authoritative updates.
