Bode George is one of the many Nigerians that have lost confidence in the Independent National Electoral Commission. He is calling them out, claiming the electoral body employed a partisan person as head of ICT.
Indeed, all eyes are on INEC and this is because it failed to keep its promise during the presidential election.
It is in line with this that Mr. Bode George is indicting the electoral body.
However, INEC says what Bode George is claiming is not true.
In a statement entitled “Alleged Appointment Of A Partisan Person As Head of ICT”, the electoral body said the “attention of the Commission has been drawn to a widely publicised report attributed to a well known Lagos politician, Chief Bode George, that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has appointed one Femi Odubiyi, a former Commissioner in Lagos State and an associate of a prominent politician, as its Head of ICT”.
‘Name Does Not Exist Within INEC’
INEC says the claim is not true.
“Nothing can be further 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.
“Our ICT staff are career officers of the Commission. None has held any political appointment in any State of the Federation,” the statement by the National Commission of INEC read.

Also, the electoral body wants you to disregard Mr. Bode George’s claims.
It says “its promoter should have been circumspect so as not to be seen as a purveyor of fake news,” INEC added.
Bode George is a member of the Peoples Democratic Party which had accused INEC of compromise in the February 25 presidential election.
The party has gone to court to challenge the emergence of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the president-elect.
