The Independent National Electoral Commission has dismissed allegations that fake result sheets were in circulation in Akuku-Toru, Tai and Bonny local government areas for the rerun elections in Rivers State.
Rivers State Government had in a statement yesterday alleged there were reports of widespread distribution of fake result sheets to Khana, Bony, Andoni and other local government areas.
“We have seen so far a completely messy logistical nightmare, as voters seem unable to differentiate between fake and real INEC documents,” Commissioner for Information and Communication, Austin Tam-George, said in the statement.
But, INEC shortly after, said: “The allegations are untrue and they should be discountenanced.”
The electoral commission advised voters to go out and exercise their franchise peacefully.
The Rivers Government said the people would only accept the outcome of the election if the process is free, fair and credible.
