The presidency has debunked speculations of President Bola Tinubu approving the replacement of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmood Yakubu.

In a post on his 𝕏 handle on Monday afternoon, the Senior Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Digital Media and New Media, O’tega Ogra, described it as ‘fake news.’

He urged Nigerians to disregard the news because it did not come from an official source.

He wrote: “Disregard any fake news making the rounds about the replacement of the INEC Chairman.

“Any such announcement will come from the SGF’s office or the any other official source.”
