AMINA ZAKARI: PDP CLUTCHING AT STRAWS, SAYS FG

The Federal Government has taken a swipe at the opposition Peoples Democratic Party for its criticism over the appointment of Amina Zakari as head of collation center in the Febraury presidential election.

In a release signed by presidential spokesman Shehu Garba, the Federal Government described the concern raised by the PDP as baseless, noting that it was the PDP government that appointed her in the first place.

“In their desperation, they forget that it was the PDP government that appointed her in the first place and they keep lying, as they have been caught doing on so many issues, by imputing a blood relationship between her and President Muhammadu Buhari.

President Buhari and Commissioner Amina Zakari don’t share a family relationship. An inter-marriage occurred in their extended families, so the imputation of blood relationship between the President and the electoral commissioner is a simple lie.

What is even more curious about all the fuss coming from the PDP is that they, as a ruling party picked Mrs Zakari, judging her by her own merit and made her an electoral commissioner.

She served so well with distinction as can be verified from the records that President Buhari approved the recommendation that she be reappointed, as he did other PDP nominees for second-term of four years.

PDP, therefore, has no moral right to keep harassing this hardworking mother unless they have a hidden agenda.

By this statement, the PDP is guilty of scoring an own goal and two, of harassing an innocent citizen on the basis of a lie, pure and simple. The statement said.
