The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has dismissed reports claiming that it has released the timetable and schedule of activities for the 2027 General Election.
In a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary and Media Adviser to the INEC Chairman, Adedayo Oketola, the Commission described the information as false and misleading, stressing that no timetable or schedule has been released for the 2027 polls.
INEC explained that it operates strictly within the provisions of the law, noting that Section 28(1) of the Electoral Act, 2022 mandates the Commission to publish a Notice of Election not later than 360 days before the date appointed for a general election. It added that any timetable or schedule issued outside this statutory framework could not have emanated from the Commission.
The Commission assured Nigerians that the official timetable and schedule of activities for the 2027 General Election would be released in due course, in full compliance with the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and the Electoral Act, 2022.
It also assured the information would be communicated through its established and verified channels.
INEC urged the public and the media to disregard the fake reports and rely solely on its official platforms for accurate and authoritative information.
