There is no plan to
remove Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman Mahmood Yakubu
over the abrupt postponement of the general elections, the Presidency said
yesterday.
A
leading politician has alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari was planning to
give Yakubu the push over last Saturday’s postponement of the elections.
“It
is not true,” a Presidency source said.
The
denial came amid claims that Prof. Yakubu has taken charge of logistics for the
elections.
The Senior Special
Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, debunked
the reports that Yakubu was to be removed.
Shehu
said: “Those reports are utterly baseless and false. There is nothing like
that.
