Amina Zakari: INEC Chairman Under Fire Over Buhari’s Niece Appointment by Gistpeeps(op): 12:27pm On Jan 04, 2019

The Advocacy for Integrity and Economic Development (AIED) has called on the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, to tender his resignation letter immediately.

AIED made this demand in a press statement issued on Friday and signed by its Director of Publicity, Comrade O’Seun John, in reaction to the appointment of supposed niece of President Muhammadu Buhari, Amina Zakari, as INEC head of presidential election result collation centre.

AIED described the appointment as the “final straw” in alleged partisan relationship between the expected independent commission and the government in power.


“What we have witnessed today in the appointment of Amina Zakari by Mahmood Yakubu is the final straw in what has been a partisan-laden commission. INEC as we know it no longer exist, instead it has become another arm of the Presidency and the ruling party with the Chairman of the commission taking orders from the office of the Chief of Staff.

“The neutrality and unbiased standing of INEC has been eroded with the appointment of a blood relative of a major contender into a pivotal role for the presidential election.

“But this is not the only crime of the Mahmood Yakubu-led tenure, rather, it is one of the many steps toward rechristening the commission into a ‘Buhari Electoral Commission’. We all witnessed the abysmal defense of constructive criticism by the media aide of the Chairman written in tenses that suggest it was crafted by Lai Mohammed and only passed to INEC for signature.


“We also witnessed how INEC, in spite of the international and nationwide condemnation of the electoral fraud disguised as election in Osun gubernatorial election, defended the gigantic antidemocratic process and allowed same to stand.

“It is with these evidences that we strongly believe that an INEC under the leadership of Mahmood Yakubu can not conduct a free, fair and transparent election and thereby demand that he tenders his resignation letter. Doing otherwise will only interpret to a presidential election determined before it commence.

“If Yakubu decides to be unpatriotic and delay his resignation, it is only manly of him to then issue a certificate of return to President Buhari and for go the plan of wasting huge resources and precious time in conducting any election,” the statement read.

You won't see this on nairaland front page. Let it be a rebuttal by Femi Adesina or Festus keyamo, you will quickly see it on front page.
There are two things that make frontpage on nairaland. 1. Anything that markets or promotes the APC message
2. Any news that ridicules or demonizes the PDP or it's candidates.

We are watching this bias. If you doubt it, look now at naira land front page in the last two weeks

Under PDP administration there wasn promotion and practice of true democracy by creating an enabling environment where people from diverse backgrounds and with divergent views and opinions can be accommodated. Under the watch of Goodluck Jonathan administration.

Conduct of free and fair elections in the country. Unlike APC administrations that wants ro turn Nigera upsidedown becuase of wickedness and lack of leadership



the Goodluck Jonathan administration has given a free hand to the country's electoral umpire, INEC, to perform its statutory

We have asked people like you repeatedly to explain the blood relationship between them and till now, you guys can’t come up with an explanation. Naptu2 opened a thread to clarify the issue but still, you won’t give up. Repeating a lie severally won’t turn it to the truth. Jonathan appointed Amina Zakari because of her integrity and the INEC chairman can deploy her to supervise any activity of the commission. You guys really need to stop grasping at straw.

There is nothing to explain to folks like you dude,nothing at all..It is as clear as crystals that there is a law in APC which mandates their supporters not to use their brains and must talk and act silly and deceitfully 24/7 in defense of buhari.

If you can wonder how one's niece can come from a different state from the person then talking to your kind on any other issue concerning Zakari is a sheer waste of time..

A massive one at that.

PDP should immediately sue INEC and Buhari for breach of electoral process integrity by appointing people with Conflict of Interest into highly sensitive positions.

They should also allow the court to over rule the use of the so called "Incident Form" to rig the elections.

It is better that the elections are not held in February if the outcome will be so rigged that it will precipitate a national crisis leading to massive loss of lives of innocent Nigerians.

Buhari is a scam without any morality or integrity. Buhari wants to organize a sham election and declare himself winner. Nigerians must fight for a credible 2019 election.

Alhaji Tanko Yakassai stated:

I know that the woman from her childhood. Her father worked with me as my Permanent Secretary before later he became the Emir of Kazaure. We maintained a cordial relationship until he passed on. However, the relationship between him and Buhari is something that I know of. Anybody around during that time also can confirm this. He (the late Emir) married the senior sister to Buhariand he (Buhari) started his childhood in the late emir’s house.

The mother of this woman (Zakari) was either the first or second wife. Aside from that, Buhari stayed with him for sometime in Kazaure. I know that the relationship is true.

I don’t need your explanation since I’m 100% convinced that there is no blood relationship between Buhari and Amina Zakari. However, for the sake of non partisan readers, kindly explain the blood relationship that exist between them. We owe it to our readers to always provide credible proof of whatever allegations we made.

As expected, you cannot provide proof because you are lying. The good part, however, is that reasonable Nigerians can read in between the lines. Your lies cannot get Atiku to Aso rock. Amina Zakari will perform her election duties meritoriously, and there is nothing any wailer can do about it.
