Atiku Reacts to INEC’s Promise to Ensure Credible Governorship Election

• INEC’s announcement that it will ensure free and fair governorship elections in the country has been dismissed by Atiku Abubakar
• The PDP presidential candidate said the INEC chairman’s comment is a classic case of ‘medicine after death’
• The former vice president stated that the electoral commission’s chairman ought to have stepped aside from his position after the presidential election

FCT, Abuja – The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has criticised the Independent National Electoral Commission Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, for promising to deliver credible governorship elections on Saturday, March 11.

In a meeting with Resident Electoral Commissioners, Prof Yakubu promised to ensure the strict use of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System and vowed that elections will reflect the wishes of Nigerians.

In a statement on Sunday, March 5 sent to Us, Atiku’s special assistant on public communication, Phrank Shaibu, described Yakubu’s assurances as worthless and unconvincing.

Shaibu added that the INEC chairman only tried to save face after conducting the worst elections Nigeria had ever witnessed since independence.
