Atiku's Camp Raises Concerns Over Tinubu's INEC Chairman Successor Plans
Atiku Abubakar's camp expressed concerns over alleged plans by Bola Tinubu to influence the selection of the next INEC Chairman to succeed Professor Mahmood Yakubu. Tinubu, a key figure in the APC, is reportedly laying the groundwork to appoint someone from the South West to lead the electoral body.
This move has raised eyebrows as the current chairman's term is ending soon. The camp urged Tinubu to consider a fair selection process, highlighting the past geographical distribution of INEC chairmen.
Professor Yakubu, who oversaw elections since 2015, is set to step down. The call for transparency in the selection process is crucial for ensuring the independence and credibility of Nigeria's electoral commission.
