A former National Chairman of the PDP, Chief Bode George, has told Arise News during an interview that he discovered that the man in charge of the IT (information technology) of INEC, was once a commissioner in Lagos.
He stated that if the INEC chairman is complaining that there was a hitch in the election, then the IT director is not supposed to be there.
Chief George stated that the man’s name is Femi Odubiyi and queried how he became a commissioner of science and technology and now the IT director of INEC.
According to him, “I’ve asked this question before, ‘Who is the man in charge of IT ?’
“We’ve now discovered that he was first of all a commissioner in Lagos State, the commissioner of science and technology.
“His name is Femi Odubiyi. He’s the manager in charge of the IT department at INEC. How did he become commissioner in Lagos ? Who put him there? And then, who put him in the INEC ?
“Now if Prof. Yakubu complains that there was a hitch, then why is that man still there?”
Chief Bode George lamented that someone is toying with the future of the country and its children.
A retired military officer who rose to the rank of Commodore in the Nigerian Navy, the elder statesman added that were Odubiyi in the military, he would have been executed.
He added that if the INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu cannot fire Odubiyi, then the government must fire both of them.
