Barring unforseen circumstances, President Muhammadu Buhari is set to confirm Mrs Amina Zakari as substantive chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
A source close to PUNCH Newspaper said that the President had decided to confirm Zakari’s appointment instead of shopping for another chairman for INEC.
“It is almost certain that the President will soon confirm Mrs. Zakari’s appointment. She may be named the substantive chairman of INEC soon. The President does not seem to be interested in shopping for a chairman from outside the commission'', the source said.
Buhari had on June 30 appointed Zakari as the acting chairman of the electoral body following Jega’s retirement. Until her appointment, Zakari was a National Commissioner at INEC.
