If you're 100% sure of this, you won't be all over this thread. wink

If she's related to him, where's the proof?
If Buhari thought she had a chance he would have long presented her name to the Senate. Remember her appointment came before those of the new service chiefs who has already been confirmed by the Senate

I pity Nigerians because we are so gullible that they can not smell the coffee that PDP and APC are brewing in the national kitchen!
It is on record that GEJ never met Prof Jega in his life before his confirmation. Prof Jega handed over to Alhaji Wali. He is a brother to Ambassador Wali,the Sokoto State PDP Gubernatorial candidate,who happens to be Tambuwal's godfather and inlaw,because Tambuwal was his PA in 1999 when he was the Senate Leader! APC hawks flooded the media with petitions that he will influence the Sokoto Tribunal.
He was removed without any cogent explanation! No one has even informed the people who is the most senior INEC official,by virtue of appointment date.
Now,the lady was appointed and the PDP is protesting that she has shown bias in the past during the ward delineation and her interference in Jigawa,her home state. Balarabe and Yakassai have averred in the past that PMB spent part of his early childhood in her father's house,the palace of the Emir of Kazaure because his elder sister was married to him! If it is true,then,it is a case of nepotism!
Instead of beating about the bush,PMB should categorically deny that he is related to her by marriage. If it is possible,he should even list his sisters husbands,just to clear his name. A little suspicion is enough to soil a name irrepairably.
There is no way that she will be confirmed in the Senate because 49 senators are PDP members.
It is left for the President to consider other options who has no baggage, e.g. the REC of Edo State,Mike Egini. It is on record that the Cross River State Gov publicly begged that he should be transferred to another state because he was too stiff. He has been consistent in elections that he conducted.
God bless Nigeria

let just wait and see how her name will scale the first interrogations when she will be called to the upper chamber..... because they will so bombard her with question upon questions
Re: Buhari Set To Confirm Zakari As INEC Chairman: Punch by omolami: 5:20pm On Aug 20, 2015
This will be a test if pdp can bark and also bite. I expect pdp to strategize and ensure she is not confirmed

Useless newspaper!! It is not the perogative of the president to conform her as the substantive INEC chairman.He can only forward her name to the senate where a 2/3 majority vote is needed for her confirmation.
have you noticed PMB takes the national assembly as an after thought meaning he cares not

you want PMB to allow the senate to probe his decision of appointment!
have you checked PMB body language recently?
Re: Buhari Set To Confirm Zakari As INEC Chairman: Punch by adekaz777: 8:09pm On Aug 20, 2015
PMB should learn from GEJ humble style that produced Prof. Jega that was welcome by everybody without dissenting voice. Out of 180 Million Nigerians,appointments must not be a problem, if the president is serious

we are in a democracy not a benign dictatorship. Why do you think that Tinubu was asking journalists to make the work of PMB's spokesmen easier? The era of Decree 4 is over!
For your information,a vote of 2/3 of the Senate is required to confirm an appointee. There is no executive fiat that can escape that. Go and revisit the Obanikoro saga at the NASS! I foresee a stalemate.
As for PMB's body language,I laugh at the simple mindedness of Nigerians. We are still stuck in the military era. Do you think a President can threaten the Judiciary and Legislature and survive without a bloody nose? What we need in Nigeria is strong institutions,not strong men! If PMB sleeps and don't wake up,will Osibanjo have the courage to continue the ''fight'' against ''corruption''? This is the reason why power can not be allowed to reside in one man's hand! Shikena
