In her reaction, Ezekwesili warned that Zakari’s appointment may attract grave consequences that INEC and the Presidency may not be able to contain.
It is now quite obvious that the @inecnigeria Chairman is making decisions that cannot at all be INDEPENDENT. How in the world can@inecnigeria Amina Zakari – niece of @MBuhari – as its Head of Collation Center? Are the INEC Chairman &President ready for the grave consequence?
