He was also Special Assistant to the former INEC Chairman, Professor Attahiru Jega.
Mr. Rotimi Oyekanmi was a senior editorial staff of the Guardian.
Meanwhile, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission [EFCC] seems still relentless in wielding the sword in the $115 million saga involving some INEC staff.
Elombah.com had reported that several INEC officials have been summoned.
They were summoned to the anti-graft agency’s Abuja headquarters in connection with the alleged bribery bazar by ex-Petroleum Minister Diezani Alison Madueke.
Mrs. Alison-Madueke is believed to be the mastermind of the massive bribery of poll officials to alter the 2015 presidential election results.
$115m, aboutN23.29b, was involved in the bribery.
Those invited include two Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) and an administrative officer:
– Gesila Khan of Rivers State
– Austin Okojie of Akwa Ibom State, and
– Administrative Secretary in Delta State, Uluochi Obi Brown
