PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 31/12/2018

“THE CANDIDATES”
A PRESIDENTIAL TOWNHALL SERIES

As 91 political parties and their respective Presidential candidates vie to lead Nigeria’s next administration in the 2019 Election, ‘The Candidates’ a presidential town hall co-production between Daria Media and NTA, supported by the MacArthur Foundation, launches on the 9th of January, 2019.

The Candidates, is a four-part, two-hour live televised town hall meeting series, of the Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates for the four leading political parties. These parties were selected from the results of multiple polls aggregated by the Centre for Democracy and Development.

The Candidates’ Presidential town hall will take place as follows:

Kingsley Moghalu and running mate, Umma Getso of the Young Progressive
Party – 9th January, 2019

Muhammadu Buhari and running mate, Yemi Osinbajo, All Progressives Congress Party –16th January, 2019

Omoyele Sowore and running mate, Rabiu Ahmed Rufai, of the African Action Congress Party -23rd January, 2019

Atiku Abubakar and running mate, Peter Obi of the Peoples Democratic Party – 30thJanuary, 2019

Kadaria Ahmed, arguably Nigeria’s foremost broadcaster and journalist will moderate each town hall.

The late John McCain was once quoted as saying, “The benefit of an open town hall meeting is one that you get to hear a lot of different views, and two it has credibility”.

The Candidates will provide a unique platform for direct interaction between the Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates of the leading political parties in Nigeria and citizens.

There will be an audience of 100 people for each town hall, including CSOs and the Diplomatic Corps, as well as citizens (who have applied online via daria.media) selected via an impartial and fair application process; other participants will join the conversation via social media and phone calls. It will be an opportunity for Nigerians to hear directly from the aspirants and to ask them questions on governance and nation building.

The Candidates, will be broadcast across Nigeria on all platforms: live on NTA, and on all Radio Nigeria stations, other partner TV stations, as well as streamed online at www.dtv.media to enable Nigerians in the diaspora and those not near television screens to participate.

I did not criticize her appointment. A reporter only asked me to help him know about her if she was related to President Buhari. I said she was not. She is not even a blood relation of his. What happened is her father married the senior assistant to President Buhari and Buhari went to Kazaure, where her father is from, and stayed there for some time because of the way her father took him like a son.

I’m not Buhari’s relation – Amina Zakari speaks

The newly appointed head of election collation centre for the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for the 2019 elections, Mrs. Amina Zakari has denied having a consanguinity relationship with President Muhammadu Buhari.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Amina-Zakari.png

Her appointment has generated myriads of criticisms and arguments from opposition’s political parties, Nigerians and Presidency.


Zakari is a princess of Jigawa State. She was born on June 23, 1960 to the late Emir of Kazaure, Hussaini Adamu.

She completed her elementary education at Shekara Girls Primary School, Kano in 1971 and had her secondary education at Queens College, Lagos.

Amina Bala Zakari was the former Acting Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission.


Her appointment took effect from the directive of the President Muhammadu Buhari following the expiration of the tenure of her predecessor, Attahiru Jega on July 30, 2015.

However, since her appointment, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has delved into captious publications, insisting that she has a blood relationship with Buhari.

Presidency yesterday refuted the allegation and noted that Buhari and Zakari do not share a family relationship. In a statement disclosed by the Senior Special Assistant to Buhari on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, Presidency averred that “An inter-marriage occurred in their extended families, so the imputation of blood relationship between the President and the electoral commissioner is a simple lie”.

Suffixing on Presidency postulations, Zakari in an interview with BBC News Igbo distanced herself from the niggling allegation that she is bloodily related to Buhari.

Her words, “I am not his niece, I am not his cousin. I was appointed on this same particular job by Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan in 2010. Prior to that I was appointed an A.S to former president Olusegun Obasanjo, and I did my job perfectly”.
