Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has reacted to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, appointment of President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s niece, Amina Zakari as its head of Collation Center for the 2019 elections.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

DAILY POST had reported that by her new appointment, Zakari, who was once the Commission\u2019s Director of Operations, will be responsible for announcing the result of the presidential election.<\/p>\n

But reacting, Fayose writing on his Twitter Page, faulted Zakari\u2019s appointment.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

He said, \u201cInstead of INEC appointing, Amina Zakari, a blood relation (niece) of President Buhari, as the Chairperson of INEC Advisory Committee and Presidential election Collation Center Committee, why not just appoint one of the President\u2019s children as INEC Chairman?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe same @inecnigeria that is promising free and fair election turning around to appoint a know blood relation of President Buhari, a candidate in the election as head of its Collation Committee? Why are these people so brazen in their plot to impose themselves on Nigerians?\u201d<\/p>\n
