Ovamboland:
In 1960 John Kennedy appointed his brother Robert as attorney general. I think he went on to the Senate and was campaigning for president 1968 and was also assassinated like his brother. George Bush was president when one of his sons was governor, when the son won the presidency, his own brother was governor of Florida.
All these fuss about filial relationship becoming impedement to appointment of qualified persons shows how backwards our minds remain
We are not even talking of competency, as far as there is a conflict of interest she shouldn't be there, Bush contested and Was elected it was not an appointment.

I am even going very far, I don't mean to insult you but could explain what conflict of interest is And if it applies to this case

Just last November, Brian Kemp contested to become the governor of Georgia on the republican ticket while still in office as Secretary of State. As Secretary of State, he was responsible for conducting the election. He won the election and resigned as Secretary of State some days later. What conflict of interest can be more than supervising an election in which you are a candidate? Still, the election was held successfully without anybody attacking the integrity of Kemp.

Here's premium times confirming what we've always said.

Buharis sister was married to Aminas father.
True, but the marriage was said to be short lived, and that the marriage was over before Amina Zakari was born.

Buhari lived in the emir (Amina's father's house) for most of his childhood.
Baseless conjecture. Buhari was said to do his primary and secondary education in his home town or near his home town
As you probably know, Buhari was born on December 17, 1942 in Daura. Six years later, he went to primary school in his hometown and in Mai'adua, where he was schooled until the age of 10. In 1953, Buhari attended a middle school in Katsina, where he studied until 1956 before moving on to Katsina Provincial Secondary School (it is now known as Government College Katsina).
So how and when did he spend most of his childhood at the emir's palace in jigawa?

Amina spent most of her childhood being raised by Buhari's sister.
More conjecture. How would Amina have spent most of her childhood being raised by Buhari's sister, when the only credible source said Buhari's sister had divorced her father before she was even born? So what happened to her own mother, why was Amina Zakari not raised by her own mother? You know emirs usually has lots of wives, are you saying Buhari's sister raised all the children of all the wives of her emir husband?

Remember premium times said they've reached this conclusion after interviewing several source and evaluating several facts.
I never saw a single source interviewed in the report. Maybe you have the full report where the sources were and several facts are stated, why not please share the full article with us.

Now tell me how this lady is not related to Buhari.

cc lalasticlala
You are yet to provide any evidence of relationship of this lady with Buhari.

Can you then explain a conflict of interest that applies now that did not apply in the last 2 elections.

We have never had any like this in the history of this nation, you guys want PMB back no matter the cost, when its very glaring that he has failed, well and fine if he wins in a free and fair election, but when he trying to rip himself back into office with his awful performance brother it will not work

Please learn to be focused in your thoughts and arguments instead of arguing all over the place. The topic at hand is the call by PDP for the resignation or firing of Amina Zakari from INEC because of being a close relative of Buhari. I asked, why is her being related to Buhari (even if true) an issue now, when it was not an issue in the last 2 elections.

Now, if you want to debate the performance or otherwise of Buhari, that is a topic for another thread and has nothing to do with Amina Zakari.

PDP instead of campaigning on what they have to offer that is different from the current situation are campaigning on irrelevant issues like Buharis certificate, Amina Zakari's sack and resignation, jubril from Sudan, back to daura, etc.

There is no way you can separate both , Amina Zakari and PMB failures go hand in Hand, her appointment is as a result of his failures, you can see the excess baggage of your President you have listed above, I thank God that you can see them yourself, But your APC have also failed to tell Nigerians what they have done in Three and half years and why they should be voted again, instead they are intimidating the media, citizens, PDP is only reacting to their actions.
