INEC Boss, Yakubu Mahmood set to handover to Acting Chairman

The incumbent Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu will be handing over to an acting Chairman on Monday November 9. 

While President Muhammadu Buhari has re-nominated Yakubu and sent his name to the Senate for confirmation, it is expected an acting chairman will pilot the affairs of the commission till the Senate confirms Yakubu’s re-nomination or otherwise.

Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Mr. Rotimi Lawrence Oyekanmi made the statement;

“The Hon Chairman’s (Yakubu) handing over ceremony to be held on Monday 9th November 2020 at the Conference Hall, INEC Headquarters.”
