There are reports making the rounds on social media and media platforms concerning the resolution of the PDP NWC meeting and postponement of the Ekiti State Congress and Governorship Primary.

The statement was said to have been issued and signed by the Secretary to the Commission.

But Mrs Victoria Eta-Messi Director, Voter Education and Publicity at INEC, in a statement said the correspondence did not emanate from the office of the Secretary to the Commission, nor any official channel of INEC.

“Preliminary findings indicate that the signature of the Secretary to the Commission was forged by unscrupulous elements,” the statement said.

“Consequently, the general public, political parties and the media are strongly advised to disregard the contents of the said correspondence in its entirety, as it is fake.

“The Commission views this act of forgery and the circulation of false documents as a serious electoral offence and a deliberate attempt to mislead the public.

“INEC wishes to use this medium to appeal to persons engaging in such futile, criminal, and disruptive activities to desist forthwith in the interest of electoral integrity and peace.

“The Commission is collaborating with security agencies to investigate this matter and ensure the perpetrators are apprehended and prosecuted according to the law.”
