Imo: We did not withdraw passwords from supervisors —INEC

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on Friday night, denied reports on social media that it had withdrawn passwords for result upload from LGA Supervisors for use by APO1s in Imo State.

Rotimi Oyekanmi, the Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, made the denial in a statement.
He said: “The attention of the Independent National Electoral Commission has been drawn to a story attributed to unknown “concerned workers” of the Commission that passwords for result upload have been withdrawn from LGA Supervisors for use by APO1s in Imo State. This is untrue.

“For the avoidance of doubt, Presiding Officers (POs), and not APO1s, are responsible for result upload to the IReV.

“All the passwords have been securely released for use by designated officials in line with the Commission’s procedure.

“The public should expect more of such insinuations before, during and after the elections, and continue to discountenance them”.
