“Leave Amina Zakari Alone” – Group Warns PDP, Others

Below is a Press Statement from the Buhari for Better Tomorrow Movement,
signed by its national publicity secretary, Ibrahim Abubakar;

“Our
attention has been drawn to the baseless arguments advanced against the
redeployment of the National Commissioner of the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC), Mrs. Amina Zakari to head INEC’s Committee
on Collation Centre in the coming Presidential election by the
opposition Peoples Democratic Party, 12 other political parties and the
Ohaneze Ndi-Igbo.

We found the hoopla raised against her
appointment as unnecessary as there is no convincing evidence to support
the imaginary claims that she would compromise results of the coming
Presidential election to favour the incumbent President Muhammadu
Buhari.

In any case, Mrs. Zakari has never used her privileged
position for personal reasons in the past and has never been found
wanting of her task and we therefore wonder why the latest conspiracy
against her person, personality and character?

The only reason
advanced against her appointment is the alleged claim that she is a
niece of Mr. President; a position she has never abused since President
Buhari came to power in 2015.

We also view the gang-up against
INEC by PDP and it’s allies as an attempt by the party to install their
anointed person in INEC who will rig the polls to their favour come
February 16.

We therefore urge INEC to ignore the clandestine
conspiracy against Mrs. Zakari by the PDP and it’s allies in the media
as that is another failed attempt by the party to rig the election.”
