Amina Zakari: President Buhari's Admittance of Relationship Justifies Our Demand - PDP

The major opposition party, People's Democratic Party says President Buhari’s admittance that he has an inter-marriage relationship with Mrs. Amina Zakari has explained its stance that she cannot be trusted with the collation of the 2019 Presidential election results.

PDP stated this in a press released signed by its Director of Media and Publicity, Kola Ologbondiyan made available to the media.

PDP say, "In the same vein, we dare President Buhari to respond to respected elder statesman, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, who, in a media chat, revealed that President Buhari nominated Amina Zakari, his niece, and pushed her appointment as commissioner to represent his interest in INEC"

"It is now clear that, in addition to the relationship by affinity, President Buhari has a consanguinity relationship with Amina Zakari and has not denied that he started his early childhood in Amina Zakari’s father’s house."

"President Buhari’s admittance has effectively established that the PDP has not been crying wolf on the impropriety of involving Mrs. Zakari in the collation of Presidential election results, let alone being appointed to head the final determination of the Presidential election."

"It is totally unethical for an umpire to insist on officiating a contest even when her impartiality is called to question. Judges excuse themselves in cases involving parties they have affinity with. Mrs Zakari must therefore, excuse herself, if the 2019 election must be credible."

"If, indeed, President Buhari is a man of integrity and is not pushing an ulterior motive with Amina Zakari, why is he insisting that she must remain in INEC and that she must be at the collation of Presidential Election result?"

"We advise President Buhari not to allow his personal interest and lust for power set our nation on fire."
"Mrs. Amina Zakari has become a major identified threat to Nigeria’s democracy, national stability and corporate existence as a nation."

"Now that Mrs. Amina Zakari has been busted, Nigerians expect her to quietly resign from INEC instead of allowing her name in the book of infamy, as the tool used to derail our democracy and plunge our nation into crisis."
