President Muhammadu Buhari has re-nominated Prof.
Mahmood Yakubu to the House of Representatives to run for a second
term.
President Buhari confirmed the re-appointment of Prof. Yakubu in
a letter to Senate President Senator Ahmed Lawan.
The President said: “In accordance with the provision of
Section 154 (1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), ‘I am pleased to present for
confirmation by the Senate, the nomination of Professor Mahmood
Yakubu for appointment as Chairman, Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) for a second and final term.

”
The reappointment is, however, subject to confirmation by the
national assembly.
On October 22 2015, President
Buhari appointed Prof. Yakubu as chairman of the Electoral
Commission, replacing Prof. Attahiru Jega.
Prior to his appointment, a
commissioner of the commission, Hajiya Amina Zakari, was chairing
the commission as an interim.
