Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), has called on Amina Zakari, the embattled National Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to resign from her position.

Sowore stated this on Monday in Abuja during the INEC quarterly consultative meeting with political parties.

There had been speculations on the relationship between the Oresident and Zakari, with the presidency issuing a statement that the duo aren't related by blood but for an inter-marriage between their families.

Zakari had also said Buhari is neither her cousin nor her uncle as claimed.

Sowore has, however, said Zakari's sense of judgement in the line of duty would be compromised, no matter the nature of her relationship with President Muhammadu Buhari.

"It is not about the blood relationship. If there is any form of relationship at all, that could influence her sense of judgement. I expected her to do the right thing by stepping aside. It doesn't have to be blood relationship. There are people who don't have blood relationship in this world that are closer than people with blood relationship," he said.

Maintaining that there is enough evidence to prove that Zakari would be biased in the discharge of her duties, Sowore advised her to follow the path of honour and resign from the position.

He said people are not comfortable with her decision to remain in her position in the commission; he also urged the commission to reverse the decision.

On the draft guidelines, he stressed that all political parties must be included in drawing up the guidelines for the regulation of the conduct of the elections.

Speaking at the event, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, the INEC Chairman, explained that where the biometric authentication fails, the voter will be required to thumbprint a box next to his/her picture on the register and would be made to enter his/her mobile telephone number before proceeding to vote.

"The commission has modified the register of voters for the 2019 general election accordingly," Yakubu stated. "Consequently, the separate incident form used in previous elections which is only completed by the presiding officer without the involvement of the voter, is now abolished. Similarly the claim that the card reader has been enhanced ro recapture voters' fingerprints at polling units and automatically overwrite the biometric record on our database is untrue and should be disregarded."

Simple as abc.

She should resign before it's too late but as far as apc is concern she will never.

observing..

Amina must go kawai

Wait for the Zombies

With the way things are going this election has been rigged since 2016

Burna boy was right after all. I'm relocating to Japan.

Like for Zakari to resign

Share for her not to resign

Very nice post. God bless Nairaland

See, I no no why una dey fear. If Bubu likes, let him be INEC chairman, he will loose after February. Just have your PVC ready. Get yourselves ready. That man must go back to daura ooo.

IF THERE IS NO ANY HIDDEN AGENDA ABOUT HER APPOINTMENT
I THINK FOR THE BEST OF ALL, AND THE PEACE, THIS WOMAN
SHOULD JUST RESIGN. HONORABLY.

If this Buhari regime has any iota of integrity left, which is highly doubtful, the lady must resign or de dismissed without delay. How can the results of a supposed free and fair election be proclaimed by a relative of the incumbent president and canditate? Who can take this joke seriously?

Is it really possible that the lady proclaims any other person winner but her Uncle Buhari? Is this a Banana Republic? Buhari is taking nigerians for fools. He may be right tho

So the inter marriage Relationship isn't enough for her to be biased or to be influenced..

Nonsense

majority of people in opposition are actually stupid... instead of bullying her why not give us the section of the constitution she violated, or evidence of her breach of contract and integrity.

This morons also called for the sack of atihiru jega and the suspension of card reader prior to 2015 election through sponsored protests

If after 20 years of democracy this buffoons still don't know that upon nomination by PDP president and confirmation by a multi party legislator INEC has independent constitueted authority to apoint or hire adhoc commitee heads, then its a shame

Amina is just a woman and INEC is a nationwide instituition, if they are 100% certain of misconduct by INEC or its staffs let them aproach a court of competent jurisdiction, rather than media blackmail, slander or noisemaking, afterall she was with INEC 2011 when buhari lost

Does anything work in Nigeria? Since there is an affiliation to the President she isn't suppose to head such sensitive position

Very nice post. God bless Nairaland

How much to build a Mobile App for my blog?

I agree with him.... I believe that justice must not just be done but must be seen as done. She is already controversial and and result emanating from her in the course of this election will be treated with sentiments so it's better for her to refuse the appointment

Dear sowore, why not use this money you have been waisting to invest in me



With 3million naira, and as an Onitsha boy...I will start up a clothing business at main market and make weekly account of 40k for you...instead of spending your money unnecessarily

Na now this one dey wake up. Mtchewwww

Allow her abeg

This arrogant idiot that can't pull 1000 people at his presidential rally is also talking.

Who dash monkey banana and who dog mouth inside shiiit.

So if the woman resigns, buhari should now replace her with you, or Jennifer Douglas.

Buhari will rather die than for this woman rigging to resign

People are shouting complaining about this woman but trust Baba and his ear problem, he will not hear
