In another mendacious press release, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
has continued their baseless accusations regarding Hajiya Amina Zakari, a
commissioner in the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
accusing her of partiality and casting doubts about her integrity as an
electoral commissioner.
In their desperation, they forget that it
was the PDP government that appointed her in the first place and they
keep lying, as they have been caught doing on so many issues, by
imputing a blood relationship between her and President Muhammadu
Buhari.
President Buhari and Commissioner Amina Zakari don’t
share a family relationship. An inter-marriage occurred in their
extended families, so the imputation of blood relationship between the
President and the electoral commissioner is a simple lie.
What is
even more curious about all the fuss coming from the PDP is that they,
as a ruling party picked Mrs Zakari, judging her by her own merit and
made her an electoral commissioner.
She served so well with
distinction as can be verified from the records that President Buhari
approved the recommendation that she be reappointed, as he did other PDP
nominees for second-term of four years.
PDP, therefore, has no moral right to keep harassing this hardworking mother unless they have a hidden agenda.
By
this statement, the PDP is guilty of scoring an own goal and two, of
harassing an innocent citizen on the basis of a lie, pure and simple.
