In response to the rumour, Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Mr Rotimi Oyekanmi described it as untrue.
Professor Yakubu, who is rounding off his second tenure in office, is expected to exit the system towards the end of the year.
The Presidency also debunked the widespread report claiming that President Tinubu has sacked the INEC chairman.
