Nigeria - Acting chairman of INEC, Amina Bala Zakari has been dragged to a Federal High Court in Lagos state by Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, a lawyer based in the state, who wants her to be removed from the position because her appointment has 'expired'.
Among several other reliefs, Adegboruwa wants the court bar her from parading herself as the INEC boss.
Explaining his reasons for the court action, the plaintiff said “on July 21, 2015, the statutory tenure of Mrs. Amina Bala Zakari, as a member or commissioner of INEC, came to an end. She has not been re-appointed by the President upon due consultation with the Council of State and the re-appointment has not been communicated to the Senate for confirmation. Consequently therefore, the presence of Mrs. Zakari in INEC, is a constitutional aberration that must not be allowed to continue.
