INEC Denies Rejecting Edison Ehie's Resignation from Rivers Assembly

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) refuted claims of rejecting Edison Ehie's resignation from the Rivers State House of Assembly. Ehie, who resigned to assume a new role, alleged that INEC declined his resignation.

INEC clarified that it had not rejected the resignation and emphasized its authority to organize elections and declare legislative seats vacant. The controversy arose following social media posts attributing remarks to the Rivers State Resident Electoral Commissioner.

INEC's statement, signed by Geraldine Ekelemu, Acting Head of Voter Education in Rivers State, aimed to clarify the situation and dispel misconceptions surrounding Ehie's resignation and the electoral process.
