Chief Osita Okechukwu, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC),while reacting to PDP’s reaction to the appointment of Amina Zakari as the head of the Presidential Election Collation Center, has advised PDP and its members to purge themselves of unnecessary propaganda and concentrate their energies on issue-based campaign.
He urgedPDP to leave propaganda, stop shopping for excuses and concentrate more on real issue-based campaign.
According to him,the Card Reader, one of the greatest antidotes to rigging, is impeccableas thereis no way Amina Zakari can manipulate the Card Reader. How can she alter or stop the results from Enugu, Ekiti, Bayelsa or even Jigawa or any other state for that matter?
He questioned if Aminawould be the Returning Officer? Or Are PDP agents going to sleep? Is there fear that they will be compromised by Amina?

He said that Amina’s role is more administrative than electoral result management, pure and simple.
He feared that the PDP is shopping for excuses to cover its impending failure in the presidential election.
Presently, there are no alleged reports ofAmina Zakari’sinvolvement in corrupt practices as she has been a member of INEC and hadheld certainpositions in the commission.
Amina is the former Acting Chairman of INEC as she took over the commission after the former Chairman, Attahiru Jega’s tenure elapsed in 2005.
