President Buhari has said he cannot remove Mahmood Yakubu as the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), because he would need a resolution by two-thirds majority of the Senate to do so.

There have been speculations that Buhari was set to fire the INEC boss, following the abrupt postponement of the general elections.

However, the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, insisted there was no truth in such claims.


“Those reports are utterly baseless and false. There is nothing like that.

“Whoever is saying the President is removing INEC chairman is just displaying his illiteracy. Let him go and read the constitution.

“You need a resolution by two-thirds majority of the Senate for any such action,” Shehu said according to The Nation.

INEC moved the general elections to Saturday, February 23, about six hours to the start of the polls on the original date of February 16.

When tyranny and oppression comes into the land,it will be in the guise of fighting crime ."-James Madison(US President 1809-1817)

See this one, the same applied to cjn but he(buhari) went ahead to procure court order to sack him. Dictator can still do same in case of prof yakubu if not for foreign intervention

As if he doesn't know that Fire will consume him if he dares it. He thinks this is another CJN matter. This one, European powers go skin am alive...

Buhari saying constitutional process? American wonder wonder. 2/3rd Senate majority as in eeh. Onnoghen comes to mind. Thank God for d foreign powers that are on ground and watching every of his moves.

Sai Baba till 2023

While not advocating the sack of the INEC Boss, someone may need to remind the president the requirement for the removal of the CJN.

All what this one knows is sack sack sack as if he's competent .

Did he needed a 2/3 senate resolution before carrying a coup on Onnoghen, Buhari abeg park one side, bloody hypocrite.

Baba please don't sack him o before the same PDP that are claiming APC are working with INEC will start calling ICC, EU, US, Donald trump and even Amadioha that you are acting with impunity.

Just the same way they did with the criminal CJN that became their brother the moment he was suspended. So Baba just leave him there

CJN nko?

Buhari should stop talking and allow us hear others.

.

Oh really? So he knows how to read the Constitution or is that a newly acquired skill? He has not said the truth about what he and INEC are planning because of unholy desperation for power and money!

Huh?
Biko, which kind lie be this?
The only person I think there is no loophole in removing them in our law is the president and vice, others, they will just bring up one law we never knew dey in existence to carry out a crazy act, eg, CJN, the only reason why he can't remove the INEC boss now is due to noise, every other reason na lie.

Yes we know.

Same thing I usually tell people when they blame GEJ for not sacking Jega back then before the 2015 elections. But some dimwits still argue that as a president, your powers are supreme to make any decisions.

if buhari had his way, he'll remove the INEC chaiman because this postponement is a blow to the face of APC.

Sack fire.So that you will handpicked amina zakari who will do your bidding.
