Yakubu Hands Over INEC Leadership to Agbamuche, Calls for Support

Professor Mahmood Yakubu has handed over the reins of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to Agbamuche as the Acting National Chairman. Yakubu's tenure spanned ten years, making him the first INEC Chairman to serve two terms.

Agbamuche, a National Commissioner, steps into the role following Yakubu's completion of his historic tenure. Yakubu appealed for support for Agbamuche in the interim capacity, emphasizing the importance of cooperation.

Civil society organizations are calling for transparency in the selection process for Yakubu's substantive successor, which requires Senate confirmation.
