Ahmed Mu’azu, a national commissioner of the Independent
National Electoral Commission has been named the acting chairman of INEC.
Mu’azu, who represents the north-east at the commission, is
replacing Mahmood Yakubu whose tenure has expired.
Although the outgoing chairman has been reappointed by
President Muhammadu Buhari, the senate is yet to confirm his reappointment.
Speaking at the INEC headquarters in Abuja on Monday, Yakubu
said the national commissioners agreed that Mu’azu will take over as the acting
chairman pending the confirmation.
“Pending the conclusion of the statutory process, the
remaining national commissioners have resolved that AVM Ahmed Mu’azu (rtd) will
oversee the affairs of the Commission,” he said.
“It is therefore my pleasure to hand over to him in the
interim. We have worked as a team for the last four years. Therefore, there is
nothing new to anyone of them.”
