Tinubu to Appoint New INEC Chairman Soon - Nigerians Await Decision
President Bola Tinubu is set to appoint a new national chairman for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) following the departure of Mahmood Yakubu. Tinubu expressed gratitude to Yakubu for his service and dedication to democracy in Nigeria.
There is a growing discussion among Nigerians about the appointment of Yakubu's successor, with considerations of regional disparities in the selection process. Notably, the southwest region has never produced an electoral chairman in the history of the commission.
The announcement of the new INEC chairman is eagerly awaited as the process of appointment is said to be completed.
