The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party has rejected the appointment of Mrs. Amina Zakari as the Acting National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission.
Zakari was appointed as the acting boss of the commission on Tuesday by President Muhammadu Buhari following the conclusion of the term of office of Prof. Attahiru Jega.
The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mr. Danladi Kifasi, who conveyed the appointment in a letter, said the appointment was with effect from 30th June 2015 until the appointment of a substantive Chairman.
But before her appointment was announced, Jega had handed over to Amb. Mohammed Wali, a national commissioner of the commission from Sokoto State.
While rejecting the appointment of Zakari, the PDP alleged that the new acting boss of the electoral body “is too close to the Presidency.”
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Olisa Metuh, stated his party’s position at a crowded press conference in Abuja on Wednesday.
Metuh said his party would want the acting chairman of the commission to state her alleged closeness to the Presidency and one of the governors of the All Progressives Congress from the North-West. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Ranting of an ant!!!!
ReplyDeleteGo to the ant,you sluggard ,consider it's ways and be wise. Prov 6:6
DeleteConsidering how well he did, I think Jega should have been re-appointed, unless he doesn't want to serve another term. I'm not convinced that this woman can handle the pressures of this position.
ReplyDeleteJEG appointed a neutral person as INEC chairman. I think GMB should emulate same. This woman coordinated the Kano rigging and most of its kind in the North during the last presidential election.
ReplyDeleteLai Mohammed were are you ? If this kind of appointment was done during the last administration you will shout like a goat facing its death
The old man has lost sense of reasoning....His is no longer reasoning very well again because of his old age....How can you be appointing only Northerners in your Administration ??? God will punish the whole of shouting one Nigeria
ReplyDeleteWho's deceiving who only GEJ showed us one Nigeria even though he had his own problems...But he did dismantle tribal and ethnic barrier
DeleteNortherners for every posts?...haba let someone remind this man that every one watching him and observing his choices....Buhari Learn from GEJ the man still had good side of him
ReplyDeleteGentle men, Can we stop insulting our own President? its a mark of disrespect for the Office and the Nation! No american or Britich citizen will call their leaders names for whatsoever reason!....Also note that it is a Constitutional right of the President to appoint whoever He wanted as INEC Chairman.....PDP is just crying foul where there's none!
