The Independent National Electoral Commission has debunked reports that it withdrew its appeal against the judgment of the Kano State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal.
INEC made this known in a statement by its National Commissioner in Charge of Information and Voter Education, Sam Olumekun, on Saturday.
The legal officer of the commission in Kano had, in a letter, said that the commission instructed its legal team to withdraw the appeal it filed against the judgment of the tribunal nullifying the election of the state Governor, Kabir Yusuf.
The commission has reportedly filed a 33-ground appeal against the judgment.
However, in the statement, the commission said the letter from the legal officer was not authorised.
