Falana Denounces Unconstitutional Tinubu Directive to INEC Chairman

Legal luminary Falana has refuted claims that Bola Tinubu directed the INEC Chairman to proceed on terminal leave, labeling such an action as unconstitutional. Falana highlighted that only the President has the legal authority to suspend or remove the electoral chief within the framework of the law.

The controversy arose following reports alleging Tinubu's interference in INEC affairs ahead of the 2023 general elections. Despite the viral claims, INEC proceeded with its operations, including staff promotions, emphasizing the independence of the electoral commission from external influences.
