The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Saturday denied reports that the commission has withdrawn the password for the uploaded election results from the Local Government Supervisors in Imo State.
The electoral umpire in a statement signed by Mr Rotimi Oyekanmi, Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, described the report as fake news and untrue.
Oyekanmi further explained that the passwords have been securely released for use by designated officials in line with the Commission’s procedure.
He said: “For the avoidance of doubt, Presiding Officers (POs), and not APO1s, are responsible for result upload to the IReV.
“All the passwords have been securely released for use by designated officials in line with the Commission’s procedure.
“The public should expect more of such insinuations before, during and after the elections, and continue to discountenance them’’.
