The spokesperson for the PDP Presidential Campaign Council, Daniel Bwala, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to redeem his electoral legacy by sacking the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Yakubu Mahmood.
Bwala made this demand during his appearance on Arise TV on Tuesday, expressing his belief that Nigerians have lost confidence in Yakubu and discredited recent elections.
According to Bwala, “President Muhammadu Buhari has invalidated the signing of the Electoral Act because the whole essence of the Electoral Act was abused in this election. To redeem his electoral legacy, he must sack the INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, especially against the possibility of a run-off election.” He also added that “Nigerians have totally lost confidence in him and will require an unbiased umpire to prepare for this possibility.”
As the recent elections in Nigeria have come under intense criticism, with many allegations of fraud and rigging, the spokesperson for the PDP Presidential Campaign Council, Daniel Bwala, has claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari must take action to redeem his electoral legacy. Bwala insisted that Buhari should sack INEC Chairman, Yakubu Mahmood, whom he believes Nigerians have lost confidence in.
During his appearance on Arise TV, Bwala argued that Buhari has invalidated the signing of the Electoral Act by failing to ensure its proper implementation in the recent elections. As such, he believes that the INEC Chairman’s position is untenable, and that he should be removed from his role immediately.
Bwala went further to say that this is particularly important, given the possibility of a run-off election in the future. In his view, an unbiased umpire is necessary to ensure that the elections are conducted in an impartial and credible manner.
Overall, Bwala’s comments highlight the growing concern and frustration felt by many Nigerians regarding recent elections. It remains to be seen if President Buhari will respond to these calls, but the demand for greater transparency and accountability in the electoral process is likely to continue.
