Former Minister of Aviation and supporter of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Osita Chidoka, has called for the resignation of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Mahmood Yakubu.
Chidoka stated during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics that INEC is a failure as an agency, adding that he is completely disappointed in the INEC Chairman and other officers.
As a result, the PDP chieftain urged President Bola Tinubu to remove Yakubu for failing to deliver on the electoral process during the 2023 general elections.

Chidoka claimed that the INEC chairman should be fired, same as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, was.
He said: “It would have been totally unimportant if Mahmood Yakubu faced what I considered the critical issues about Nigerians making their choices. For the kind of uproar that the election caused, the way he went after the CBN governor is the way I think he should have set up a panel to look into INEC.”
Chidoka appreciated Tinubu’s equitable distribution of appointments throughout the six geographic zones in the last four weeks when it came to the appointment of new Service Chiefs.
Based on the “trauma suffered during Buhari’s tenure,” he described the euphoria and reactions that followed the appointments as being dispersed across the six geopolitical zones.

“I think they’ve been fair in trying to (spread) appointments across the country. I think it’s being largely fair but it’s unimportant,” he said.
