2023 ELECTIONS: PRESIDENCY FINALLY SPEAKS ON SACKING INEC BOSS, HALTING USE OF BVAS

During a policy dialogue in Abuja, a presidential media aide, Femi Adesina, debunked the rumour and also refuted speculations that there is a plan to sack the current national chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Mahmood Yakubu, 

Adesina urged journalists not to give attention to such reports and those who propagate them with the intention of disrupting the 2023 elections.

Recently, there was one group that said the chairman of INEC was going to be removed because maybe they didn’t want BVAS." “How many times has the president spoken about the role of technology in getting him into office? “He has spoken about it locally, internationally that three times he contested, three times he ended at the Supreme Court because the government of the day will just write results. 

Adesina noted that the same people selling lies about the use of BVAS in 2023 are claiming that there is a plot to sack Mahmood. According to him, such things can never happen under President Muhammadu Buhari's administration.
