The Independent National Electoral Commission has said it was yet to release the Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the 2027 General Election.
The reaction was contained in a statement by the Chief Press Secretary/Media Adviser to the INEC Chairman, Adedayo Oketola.
This followed the circulation of a timetable on Friday.
Responding to this, Oketola said: “The Commission wishes to state clearly that this information is false and misleading. INEC has not released any timetable or schedule of activities for the 2027 General Election.
“The Commission reiterates that it operates strictly within the provisions of the law.
“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.

“When released, it will be communicated through the Commission’s established and verified channels.
“The Commission urges 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.”
