A chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Buba Galadima, has called on President Bola Tinubu to fire the National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Mahmood Yakubu.
Galadima made the call during an interview with Channels Television on Wednesday.
Galadima said Yakubu colluded with some politicians to thwart the will of Nigerians during the last presidential election.
He noted that the suspended governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Godwin Emefiele, did not commit anywhere near the crimes Yakubu committed before he was given the marching order.
He stressed that the INEC boss committed more crimes than Emefiele.
According to Galadima: “The INEC chairman must go, what he did is not up to what Godwin Emefiele did.
“He colluded with some people to subvert the will of Nigerians. He committed the greatest crime anybody will commit.”
Yakubu was accused of compromising the 2023 presidential election.
Some political stakeholders had accused the INEC chairman of manipulating the 2023 presidential election in favour of Tinubu.
