Meanwhile, the Director, Voters Education Publicity at INEC, Oluwole Uzzi, is appealing to Nigerians to engage more with the commission’s social media platforms to obtain updated and precise information rather than resort to rumours and gossips that tend to mislead.
He remained optimistic that the use of the ‘My INEC’ app as well as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and the INEC hotlines would further serve as a means of mobilizing more Nigerians to participate in the democratic process.
