The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has refuted allegations by Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, accusing it of selective conduct of elections to fill vacancies arising from the defection of serving members of the National and State Assembly from one political party to another.
Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Mr Rotimi Oyekanmi, in a statement on Friday described the allegations as misplaced and misleading.
Oyekanmi stated that no specific instances of the alleged selective action were presented by Fubara when he accused the Commission of deliberate failure to fill the vacancies resulting from the protracted crisis in the Rivers State House of Assembly where two factions are jostling for control.
