The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) refuted reports circulating in some quarters claiming that the Commission has released the Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the 2027 General Election.
A release signed by Adedayo Oketola, the CPS/ Media Adviser to the INEC Chairman described the information as false and misleading, stressing that INEC has not released any timetable or schedule of activities for the 2027 General Election.
The Commission reiterated that it operates strictly within the provisions of the law, adding that In particular, “Section 28(1) of the Electoral Act, 2022 provides that the Commission shall publish a Notice of Election not later than 360 days before the date appointed for a general election. Any timetable or schedule issued outside this statutory framework cannot emanate from INEC”.
INEC 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 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) and the Electoral Act, 2022.
It further informed that when the timetable is released, it would be communicated through the Commission’s established and verified channels.
The Commission urged the public and the media to disregard the fake reports and always rely on information from INEC’s official platforms for accurate and authoritative updates.
