The Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) has dispelled rumours that Chidi Nwafor, its
director of ICT, has resigned.
In a series of tweets on Saturday
morning, the commission said the purported resignation is fake news and should
be disregarded.
“The rumour circulating that our
Director ICT, Engr. Chidi Nwafor has resigned is totally false and should be
disregarded,” INEC wrote.
“The Director and another staff
have just returned from South Africa where they represented INEC at the high
level 5th Annual Meeting of ID4Africa Movement in Johannesburg (18 – 20 June
2019).”
INEC added that neither the
director nor any of its senior staff have also indicated any intention to
resign their appointment since the general elections.
The commission’s ICT department
has been in the limelight over an ongoing debate at the presidential election
tribunal on whether the electoral body has a server or not.
The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) had claimed that the results obtained from the purported server showed
Atiku Abubakar, its presidential candidate, got more votes than President
Muhammadu Buhari.
But INEC denied having any
server. It said it had only used a server to experiment during previous state
governorship elections and not for this year’s general election.
