He revealed that the ICT director was once the commissioner for science and technology in Lagos state, where Tinubu calls the shot as the supreme leader and mentor to other governors who have ruled after him.
George urged the INEC chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, to explain to Nigerians why Odubiyi should be saddled with such a sensitive responsibility knowing that he once worked for the Lagos state government controlled by the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC).

He said:
“I call on all security apparatus of government to quickly wade into this matter by inviting Odubiyi to explain whatever role he has played, as well as tell Nigerians how he got into INEC ICT unit, being a commissioner in Lagos State.
The masquerade must be unveiled. This unholy alliance that has pushed our country towards precipice must be thoroughly checked and nipped in the bud,”

According to a report by Dubawa, a fact-checking organisation, results from polling units across Nigeria had yet to be completely uploaded on the IReV portal as of March 7.
The report also found that the result uploaded by a Facebook user, which showed LP’s victory in about 18 states, including the FCT, was not from the IReV portal but from a poll by Nextier.
