Amina Zakari’s removal not necessary – INEC

The Director of Voter Education and Publicity of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Mr. Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, said that the call for the removal of Amina Zakari who was yesterday appointed as Head of the INEC Collation Centre committee for the February general election is uncalled for.

According to him “The chairman of INEC by virtue of the electoral act is the returning officer of the country for the presidential election. It is he who decides the validity of votes and any issues in the election”.

He also said “She was also very involved in negotiating with the ICC management in 2015 for the use of the facility so her duty is to ensure the facility is ready. She has no role whatsoever with the process of collation.”
