The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has denied hiring Femi Odubiyi, a former Lagos State Commissioner, as the director of its Information and Communications Technology Department.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Festus Okoye, Chairman of INEC’s Information and Voter Education Committee, refuted assertions made by former Deputy National Chairperson of the PDP, Bode George, that the electoral body hired Odubiyi.
Okoye claimed the PDP chieftain’s accusation is incorrect, adding that INEC workers are non-partisan and have never had a political role.

“Nothing can be farther from the truth,” Okoye said. “To set the record straight, the name ‘Femi Odubiyi’ does not even exist within our ICT Department at the INEC headquarters in Abuja or any state office of the Commission.”
According to Okoye, ICT staff members were career officers of the Commission, adding “none has held any political appointment in any state of the Federation.”
