PDP says it will reject results of any elections conducted by new INEC boss

PDP National Publicity secretary, Oliseh Metuh, says the party will reject results of elections conducted by INEC's acting Chairman, Amina Zakari whom they claim is like a "daughter" to President Buhari. Mr Metuh said this while speaking during a courtesy visit he made to the National Democratic Institute and International Republican Institute in Abuja yesterday July 16th.

"We have INEC and the idea is that people heading it should be above board, but the present ruling party has appointed the ‘daughter’ of the President to head the position. There is no where in the world where such has happened, a person who has a relationship with the President. I am drawing the attention of the IRI that Buhari has appointed his ‘daughter’ as INEC Chairman, we believe there will not be fairness. It will be very difficult to accept any result of the election conducted by Amina Zakari. It will be difficult for PDP to accept result of election if we lose under Zakari.” he said

Mr Metuh also claimed that since he assumed office President Buhari has formed the habit of taking only Governors from his party for his foreign engagements. Mr Metuh said this was never the case during the time of former President Jonathan who ensured that he took Governors from the opposition along with him during any of his foreign trips.
