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.

PDP power

PDP n their wahala

And who cares if it pleases them or not

I hope they know this is INEC chairman, and not PDP chairman.

PDP must be joking. Who told them they have a say on who heads INEC I laugh in Cantonese

Haahahahahahahaha. Cry cry party. Opposition nor good o. Hahahaahaha

pdp when u had the power to remove the power to appointment inec chairman from the president you people refused
Why cry now
Smh for PDP

Please this should be moved to the jokes section it is rather funny

PDP, how una dey o. Nna never see anything.

Playing opposition...but the excuse is not well substantiated .

Haha.. Abii oo

PDP had the power to change this mess, all GEJ needed to do was to implement the Uwais Electoral committee Report. But instead in their usual dubiousness, they threw the report in the bin thinking they were punishing the opposition.

Story for the gods coming from rejected failed party. They better face the fact and play the opposition well !!!

Metuh Olisah obviously need a brain surgery because I wonder where he and his goons were when the woman was appointed a commissioner by their party stalwarts.


The woman in question was appointed a commissioner under the same PDP government and why didn't he and his goons complain then . So much for their clueless brand of opposition.

Seems Olisa Metuh has gone for the needed training in effective opposition strategies. You have (at least) four years to do this dirty job. Remember no cash flow from the centre any longer
Just beep Wike, Kashamu and Oduah often ,to release funds for the running of your office. Please we need you at this time to keep APC on their toes *winks*

Metuh forgot that his boss, GEJ; appointed this women to INEC in the first instance.

do we have to teach metuh everythìng? Who appointed zakari a inec national commissioner? It was jonathan. As a commissioner is she not in line to take over as a commissioner? Besides she is the most senior national commissioner.and it is temporary as she ìs due for retirement july 30.

Tanoids

Who cares?? Mtcheeew. They can go to blazes a billion different ways for all we care.

16 gruelling years (192 dark months), the behemoth PDP rode roughshod on this country. They have nothing but pain and suffering to show for their horribly incompetent leadership. APC has been on the saddle for just a month, yet PDP imagine they have the moral right to criticise this government and her policies.

Matter of fact, I wish Buhari were still a dictator.

They do have a say. Buhari shldn't appoint his ally, (if PDP's allegation is true) as INEC boss. if he is an honest man as his supporters say, Buhari shld emulate GEJ who appointed a neutral person acceptable to all

They should go and die in the lagoon

Metuh you can't do more than a dead rat, in short, go n die...Rubbish...

Did APC reject Jega,when PDP Chosed him?

As was told She is in acting capacity naoh

PDP has only been in opposition for just 32 days and heaven is being called to fall ... When Lai Muhammed was in that shoe it fits him well o make dis no be oversize for Metuh o,He still has 3 years,10months and 30days more to do this so should preserve/reseeve his breath: I DEY LAUGH O ( in OBJ's voice )
