Abuja - The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has kicked against the
appointment of Amina Zakari as the Acting National Chairman of the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), reports Punch.
Zakari
was appointed as the acting head of the commission on Tuesday by
President Muhammadu Buhari following the expiration of the tenure of
Prof. Attahiru Jega.
The party noted that Zakari was too close to the Presidency to occupy such sensitive position.
Olisa Metuh, PDP’s National Publicity Secretary stated his party’s position at a crowded press conference in Abuja on Wednesday.
He
noted that Zakari needs to convinced Nigerians that she merits the
position by explaining her closeness to the Presidency and one of the
governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the North-West.
