Mr. Sam Olumekun has assumed duties at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as Acting Chairman.
Olumekun performed his first duties today, while receiving a high-level delegation of the Labour Party (LP) at the Commission’s headquarters in Abuja with other National Commissioners.
The delegation was led by Abia State Governor Dr. Alex Otti, who visited the Commission to discuss key developments within the party.
During the visit, Governor Otti formally presented a Certified True Copy of the recent Supreme Court judgment concerning the party’s leadership.
He noted that the meeting was aimed at fostering clarity, mutual understanding, and institutional alignment regarding the LP’s current structure.
It was gathered that both parties engaged in discussions centered on enhancing collaboration and reinforcing democratic values.
Mr. Olumekun reaffirmed the Commission’s unwavering commitment to neutrality, transparency, and the rule of law in the discharge of its constitutional responsibilities.
This fresh development came in the wake of rumours of INEC’s Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu’s removal from office circulated on social media.
