VANGUARD newspaper has published an expose on Amina Zakari, acting chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
When Sunday Vanguard published that some emirs were piling pressure on President Muhammadu Buhari to appoint his alleged god-daughter, Hajia Amina Bala Zakari, as replacement for Attahiru Jega, the then outgoing Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, it sounded like a fairy tale.
But Tuesday, June 30, the action of Buhari, overruling the handover to Ambassador Wali and, instead, replacing him with Zakari, confirmed what many saw as a plot on how the North plans to have a strangle-hold on Nigeria’s electoral process as well as compensation for a loyal ‘daughter’.
INSIDER DEALINGS AT INEC
Midway through the collation of results for the 2011 presidential election, something strange – very strange – and unknown to law, happened. The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, suspended the collation of results. The Commission was acting on a petition from the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC. Rightly, and in the estimation of CPC, there appeared to be grounds to suspect that the election was not as free as most Nigerians were led to believe – and this formed part of the case built by the party against Goodluck Jonathan’s Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, when CPC challenged the outcome of that year’s presidential election which had Muhammadu Buhari as its candidate.
Whereas results were trickling in (and there was always an interlude between the announcements of batches of results), INEC, purporting to be acting on the petition from CPC, allegedly technically suspended the process.
