INEC, Amina Zakari about to derail democracy, Ohanaeze cries out

PRESIDENT General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Chief Nnia Nwodo
has told Nigerians to hold the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, and the Federal Government responsible should
anything happen to the nation’s democracy.

This is as Nwodo called on Mrs. Amina Zakari, a national
commissioner in INEC to resign from the commission because of her
blood relation to President Muhammadu Buhari.

Reacting to INEC’s appointment of Mrs. Zakari as head of
Election Collation Committee, Thursday, Nwodo said it was bad
enough that Mrs. Zakari was allowed to continue to serve in INEC
and worse by INEC appointing her in the new position.

“It’s like Rangers VS Kano Pillars and Kano Pillars is allowed
to nominate a referee. It’s impossible for justice to be done. In a
civilized clime Amina Zakari should have resigned,” he
maintained.

“I expected the APC government having come to power through a
free and fair election conducted by another president, they should
not destroy the history.

“I call on Amina Zakari to honourably resign. Whatever happens
to our democracy tomorrow, they (INEC and Federal Government)
should hold themselves responsible.

“With continued membership of Mrs. Zakari in the commission, the
corporate personality of INEC is seriously whittled down; making
her head of collation committee is worse than anything anybody can
imagine,” Nwodo said.
