A former presidential aspirant under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Sam Ohuabunwa, says Prof Mahmood Yakubu stepping down as chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has disappointed many politicians.
Ohuabunwa made this statement on Tuesday, while responding to questions in an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television.
His remarks came after Yakubu bowed out as INEC chairman and handed over to May Agbamuche in acting capacity.
“Prof Yakubu’s step down is cheering news; he left a bitter taste in the mouths of many politicians.
“He let politicians down, especially in the 2023 elections. He raised our hopes so high, thinking we could trust the election results, then dropped the ball at the critical time.
“Whether it was accidental or coincidental or deliberate, history will judge that but he left a bitter taste in our mouths.
“We should get to a stage now where we shouldn’t be disputing the legitimacy of our president or even governor when he wins election,” he said.
