Former Jigawa State governor, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has blasted the INEC Chairman Prof Mahmoud Yakubu for the sudden postponement of the elections over alleged logistic issues. He asked him to quit his office.
Alhaji Sule Lamido who spoke to the press in his country home, Bamaina, said Nigeria has once again failed to get things right as a nation.
He said: “In 2011, the then INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmoud Jega, was reckless to have abruptly halted the election halfway. And in 2015, even though there was a cogent reason for the postponement of the elections after INEC was briefed on the level of insecurity in the country. But on this one, there simply shouldn’t have been a reoccurrence,” he declared.
Lamido demanded that the INEC chairman, Yakubu should stand down because it was about the institution not human being and “when we have failed as a people to take charge of such institution, we must call it quits,” he stated
