The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said that it didn’t use fake result sheets in the just concluded Rivers legislative polls.
In a statement signed by the INEC Director of Publicity and Voter Education, Mr Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, on Friday, March 25, 2016, in Abuja, which reads: “Specifically, there was omission of the original watermark in the result sheets for a few polling units in three federal constituencies, he said.
“There was also omission of some delineation details in 47 of over 20,000 booklets produced.
“The commission wishes to emphatically state that there were no fake result sheets or any fake materials used in the conduct of the election.”
He restated the commission’s decision to uphold the declarations and return made in the federal constituencies where elections have been concluded.
“Similarly, INEC will conclude and make returns in constituencies where it is satisfied that voting and collation were done in substantial compliance with the Electoral Aact and our guidelines.
“Further details as to the constituencies and nature of the exercise will be announced by the REC in the next few days.”
