The former senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Senator Shehu Sani, on Monday, said nobody should blame the Independent National
Electoral Commission chairman, Professor Mahmud Yakubu, for the unfortunate event that happened in Adamawa State.
DAILYPOST recalls that the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Hudu Yunusa Ari had declared Aisha Binani of the All Progressives Congress, APC, winner of the governorship election in the state after announcing results of 10 of the 69 polling units.“It’s unfair to blame Professor Mahmud Yakubu for the unfortunate event that happened in Adamawa State.
“The REC shamelessly violated the law and prompt action was taken by the National Headquarters of INEC.” He said Prof Mahmud has done a commendable job by rescuing the situation and by extension rescuing our electoral system from Brigandage. “The next step is to demand the prosecution of the REC and other culprits involved. Let’s be fair and objective,” he wrote.
