Also debunking the rumours, Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, said the rumours are not true.
He wrote on social media “The story trending across media platforms to the effect that Mr President @officialABAT has either sacked the INEC chairman or has replaced the INEC chairman is not true and should be discountenanced.
“Decisions and or official acts of Mr President are communicated through official channels and not rumor mill.”
Professor Mahmood Yakubu’s tenure ends in November 2025.
