2019 election: Former APC presidential aspirant, Udeogaranya blasts INEC over appointment of Buhari’s niece


Former All Progressives Congress, APC presidential aspirant, Charles Udeogaranya, has decried the appointment of Amina Zakari as head of collation of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in the 2019 general election.
Udeogaranya, now a Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain, described the appointment as a recipe for chaos.
Zakari is said to be a relative of President Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the APC.
The former APC presidential candidate was quoted by Sun as saying that “This is the worst attempt at election result falsification.
“The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has commissioned it first step towards announcing fake and fictitious 2019 election results by appointing President Buhari’s niece, Amina Zakari, as head of INEC’s collation centre.
“The world must step in now and caution INEC over this deadly step as Nigeria will not accept false election results from INEC.
“INEC must be put on notice regarding the grave danger and consequences of organising anything short of a credible election.
“INEC without hesitation must withdraw this appointment as the 2019 general election stakes are unimaginable high.”
