Obono-Obla: Tinubu Cannot Sack INEC Chairman Yakubu

Former Presidential Aide, Obono-Obla, refuted claims that Bola Tinubu had the power to sack Mahmood Yakubu, the INEC Chairman. Obono-Obla clarified that the President lacks the unilateral authority to remove Yakubu from office, citing legal provisions in the constitution.

He emphasized the constitutional process required for the removal of the INEC Chairman, highlighting the legal framework outlined in Section 157(1) of the 1999 Constitution. Obono-Obla's statement aimed to address misleading reports circulating online about Yakubu's potential dismissal.
