The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said it has not withdrawn its appeal in the Kano State gubernatorial election petition judgement.
A statement by the INEC National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voters education committee, Sam Olumekun, on Saturday, said the purported letter of withdrawal did not emanate from the commission.
Part of the statement said, “The public is therefore advised to discountenance the insinuation that the Commission has withdrawn from the case or even worse abandoned the appeal.
“We wish to state categorically that where litigants join INEC in a case, the Commission is under obligation to respond accordingly. We have therefore instructed our lawyers to proceed in line with extant policy of the Commission. The policy has not changed.”
