INEC Politics, Latest Politics Thursday, June 2nd, 2011
The Independent National Electoral Commission on Thursday disowned a programme of events to celebrate the INEC’s chairman’s one year in office being planned by a group named Nigeria Vote-Count Campaigners.
The commission, in a statement by spokesman for the INEC boss, Mr. Kayode Idowu, said, “This programme, scheduled for Thursday, June 9, 2011, in Abuja, celebration of the widely applauded April 2011 General Elections in Nigeria and one year in office of Professor Attahiru Jega and his team of National Commissioners.
“Already, invitation cards and a programme brochure bearing the INEC logo have been printed and issued to the public.
“The public is hereby advised that INEC’s endorsement was not secured for the purported ‘celebration,’ neither did the INEC Chairman and National Commissioners, who are purportedly being celebrated, give their blessing to the planned programme. Even though a letter was written to the commission, the organisers did not wait for a response before going public with their preparations.”
