PRESS RELEASE

RE: FALSE CLAIMS REGARDING RENEWED HOPE SIGNAGES ON INEC BUILDING.

Our attention has been drawn to a report circulating in the social media alleging that the picture of a building hosting the signpost and banner of the Renewed Hope Movement is INEC Rivers State’s office.
This is both false and misleading and the Commission categorically rejects these claims. For the avoidance of doubt, the said building does not belong to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Rivers State, neither does our office have such signages on any part of its premises.
It is clear that the generators of the false information confused the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC), which shares a fence with the said building with our office.
The spread of false information is harmful to national unity and public trust. We therefore urge members of the public to verify claims through credible and official channels before sharing or publishing them.
As an umpire, INEC remains neutral and will continue to uphold its mandate as an independent body.

Dr. (Mrs.) Angela I. Ebhodaghe
Administrative Secretary
For: Resident Electoral Commissioner
INEC, Rivers State.
