Beyond inter-marriage, no relations between Buhari, Amina Zakari ― Presidency

The presidency on Friday defended the appointement of Amina
Zakari as head of the collation centre for the general elections by
the electoral commission, INEC.

Recall that the apointment of Mrs Zakari, whose partiality had
been questioned by opposition parties in previous elections.

The main opposition party, PDP, and a coalition of some
opposition parties, CUPP, have also criticised the Thursday
announcement by INEC that Mrs Zakari has been so appointed.

INEC, however, defended Mrs Zakari’s appointment on Friday,
saying she could not influence the elections.

In a statement by Garba Shehu, President Muhammadu Buhari’s
spokesperson, on Friday, the presidency said the accusations by the
PDP against Mrs Zakari were “baseless.”

Read the full statement by Mr Shehu below.

In another mendacious press release, the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) has continued their baseless accusations regarding
Hajiya Amina Zakari, a commissioner in the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) accusing her of partiality and casting
doubts about her integrity as an electoral commissioner.

In their desperation, they forget that it was the PDP government
that appointed her in the first place and they keep lying, as they
have been caught doing on so many issues, by imputing a blood
relationship between her and President Muhammadu Buhari.

President Buhari and Commissioner Amina Zakari don’t share a
family relationship. An inter-marriage occurred in their extended
families, so the imputation of blood relationship between the
President and the electoral commissioner is a simple lie.

What is even more curious about all the fuss coming from the PDP
is that they, as a ruling party picked Mrs Zakari, judging her by
her own merit and made her an electoral commissioner.

She served so well with distinction as can be verified from the
records that President Buhari approved the recommendation that she
be reappointed, as he did other PDP nominees for second-term of
four years.

PDP, therefore, has no moral right to keep harassing this
hardworking mother unless they have a hidden agenda.

By this statement, the PDP is guilty of scoring an own goal and
two, of harassing an innocent citizen on the basis of a lie, pure
and simple.
