Senate Confirms The Appointment Of Eight INEC Commissioners by zidonjohn: 6:13pm On Jul 20, 2017 |
The Nigerian Senate confirmed the appointment of eight of the 12 remaining Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Thursday, July 20, 2017. The Senate Committee on INEC had presented its reports on the nominees at plenary on Wednesday. The commissioners that were confirmed at plenary on Thursday are: Asmau Sani Maikudi (Katsina), Sam Olugbadebo Olumekun (Ondo), Mahmuda Isah (Kebbi), Riskuwa Shehu (Sokoto), Kasim Gana Geidam (Yobe), Jibrin Ibrahim Zarewa (Kano), Abdulganiyu Olayinka Raji (Oyo) Samuel Egwu (Kogi). The nomination of Professor Mustapha Zubairu (Niger) was rejected due to being from the same senatorial district as the National Commissioner of INEC, Mohammed Haruna. The nominations of Mahmuda Isah (Kebbi) and Ahmad Bello Mahmud (Zamfara) were also suspended for "further legislative considerations." The Chairman of the committee, Suleiman Nazif, explained that they were still making consultations on the two. The confirmation of Ambassador Rufus Oloruntoyin Akeju(Lagos) was suspended after an objection was raised by the Deputy Minority Whip, Senator Abiodun Olujimi (PDP, Ekiti) who presented a court ruling against him. Senate President Bukola Saraki referred the case to the committee to investigate and report back to the Senate. http://absolutegist.com/the-nigerian-senate-confirms-the-appointment-of-eight-commissioners/

Very biased nomination. No South easterner, no south south? Though I am not from the said regions, the very idea of equality or even federal character in Nigeria is obviously lacking. Shame on our fake Senate! |

Senate passed a resolution saying all nominees not explicitly listed on sections 171 and 153 will not be considered on the floor of the senate INEC and its commissioners are listed in section 153 Saraki has made it clear that this is not a U-turn |

seXytOhbAd:Most times and some times I begin to wonder the level of awareness of our so call youths/ leaders of tomorrow. You simply do not know every state has 1 INEC commissioner.

COMMON SENSE IS NOT COMMON AT ALL All states have one INEC commissioners each. The senate are confirming them in batches and the majority of SS and SE have had their commissioners confirmed already. NtoAkwaIbom: |

Laid2001: Do you honestly know what that is termed "COMMON SENSE " that each state has 1 commissioner each is not a general knowledge... it's like me knowing the number of judges in the supreme Court and a quorum needed to pass judgement. you won't say dat a common man on the street has no common sense because he does not know what I know... it's because that piece of fact is not common and discernable by mere logic.. it is only discernable by reading the documents containing that piece of information. common sense is you knowing that it's cloudy hence it will rain. |
