President Buhari revealed the Reason Why He Cannot Sack Yakubu Mahmood As INEC Chairman

President Buhari has said that he cannot remove
Mahmood Yakubu as the chairman of the
Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC), because he would need a resolution
by two-thirds majority of the Senate to do
so.

There have been speculations that Buhari
was set to fire the INEC boss, following the
abrupt postponement of the general
elections.

However, the President’s Senior Special
Assistant on Media and Publicity, "Mallam
Garba Shehu" insisted there was no truth in
such claims.

“Those reports are utterly baseless and false.
There is nothing like that.

“Whoever is saying the President is
removing INEC chairman is just displaying
his illiteracy.
Let him go and read the
constitution.

“You need a resolution by two-thirds
majority of the Senate for any such action,”

Shehu said according to The Nation.

INEC moved the general elections to
Saturday, February 23, about six hours to
the start of the polls on the original date of
February 16.
