Olisa Agbakoba, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, has advised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu that the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, must leave office by resignation or removal.

He said this on Thursday in a statement while congratulating Tinubu for suspending the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, and the Chairman of Economic, Financial Crime Commission, Abdurasheed Bawa, fuel subsidy and foreign exchange corruption.

According to him, after dismantling CBN, EFCC, fuel subsidy and others, the next thing is the INEC.

“Full congratulations go to President Tinubu for getting rid of Emefiele and Bawa, fuel subsidy, and forex corruption. Endemic corruption has suffered a massive blow. Next is for the
president to dismantle INEC. Everyone will agree that logistically, the 2023 elections are the worst in our history. I do not refer to the merits of the results of the elections. Many results are disputed and are in Tribunals. Both petitioners and respondents suffered at the hands of an incompetent INEC.

“As we await rulings from the courts, massive reforms of the electoral framework ought to begin, but this means that the INEC Chairman will have to leave office by resignation or removal; otherwise, the reform task will be impeded. I add that the suggested reforms have nothing to do with the merits of election results. Both winners and losers of the elections were victims of the failure of INEC. A deep cleansing of INEC will enhance confidence in Nigeria’s democracy”, he stated.

In less than three weeks upon inauguration as president, Tinubu has embarked on a number of reforms including the unification of foreign exchange, signing of Students Loan Act and Data Protection Act.

BiafraAburi:
What a dunce. Remove the INEC chairman for what exactly? This foolish educated illiterate called Agbakoba and his foolish useful idiot Igbos are even hoping to participate in the next zoo election. Where do these fools keep their brains? What are these imbeciles benefitting from the zoo called nigeria?
Imagine a well-breastfed Igbo person hoping to participate in the zoo election instead of seeking to have his or her own Biafra nation where he will live in peace and develop according to his pace. Only brainless amoeba Igbos.

Can Tinubu swear with his life that he won the election free and fair, and not fraudulently announced as the winner by the INEC chairman?
Can he dare to bite the finger that fed him?
