The pan-Yoruba socio-political
organization, Afenifere has called for the replacement of the Chairman of the
Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Mahmood Yakubu.
Afenifere expressed
dissatisfaction with the INEC level of preparedness to conduct a free, fair and
credible elections in the country as 2019 draws nearer.
Speaking through its National
Leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, the organization demanded that the whole INEC team
be disbanded.
Adebanjo spoke to reporters at
Toru-Orua, hometown of Bayelsa State Governor, Hon Seriake Dickson during the
burial ceremony of his late mother, Mrs Goldcoast Dickson.
He said, “We have said it before
that we don’t have any trust in INEC as it is presently constituted.
“In fact, we are of the view that
the whole team should be disbanded.
“For us to have a free and fair
election, there should be no relation of a contestant in the presidential
election in INEC’s leadership.”
The Afenifere chieftain also
restated the group’s commitment to the ongoing struggle for the restructuring
of the country.
