Obi’s Camp Raises Alarm As INEC Secretly Changes Deadline For Submission Of Party Agents

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has come under fire for indulging in what one of the Labour Party’s (LP) spokespersons for the presidency, Ndi Kato, dubbed “shady dealings.”

The claim was made in a tweet on her Twitter account on Thursday.

Kato alleged that the date for submitting party agents had been secretly altered from January 20 to January 18, 2023, by the Electoral Commission.

She claimed that the development came to light following Wednesday night’s closure of INEC’s website.

Additionally, Kato cautioned the panel against engaging in dubious practices that would jeopardize this year’s elections for Nigerians.

She wrote, “@inecnigeria your shady dealings may cost Nigerians this important election. You gave 20th January as the initial deadline for parties to upload their agents, and then you quietly shut down the portal last night being 18th and then went to your website to change the date to 18th.

“Why did you end registration of polling unit agents on the 18th after telling Nigerians it is the 20th.”
