For alleged fraud during the March 28th governorship election, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has redeployed the head of its ICT in the Adamawa office.
The commission directed the officer, whose name was withheld, to report to the commission’s headquarters in Abuja on or before April 10, 2023, in a three-paragraph letter.
Recall that the March 18th governorship election in Adamawa state drew widespread criticism after allegations of irregularities by INEC officials led to the election being declared inconclusive.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC Barrister Hudu Yunusa has cried out over the threat to his life, and his whereabouts unknown since the declaration of the election as inconclusive, late last month.
The sitting Governor of the state and PDP candidate Ahmadu Funtiri led comfortably in 15 of the 21 local government areas when his APC counterpart, Senator Aishatu Dahiru Binani had 5 local governments with only Fufore local government outstanding before the declaration of the election as inconclusive.
Meanwhile, INEC in Adamawa has reacted to a social media report that the HOD ICT was moved to Abuja over the inconclusive governorship poll.
The Head of Corporate Affairs of the commission, Dauda Jaouro said the transfer of Mr Job has nothing to do with the governorship election.
” The HOD is the best ICT expert the commission has for now hench his movement to the headquarters”, Mauro said.
